The Silence of the Lambs is my absolute favorite movie, and the book does not disappoint. It’s beautifully written. The one thing that is a tiny bit disappointing is that some of the most iconic lines from the movie aren’t verbatim in the book, but obviously that’s not the book’s fault. 

As a trans person I’m very glad about the distinction made between Buffalo Bill and actual trans people.

I don’t know if it’s the chapter length, or my need to see this book all the way through, but this might be the fastest I’ve ever finished a book
