This is one of the few books I've read where I like the book and the movie equally. It actually makes me appreciate the movie even more because of how faithful an adaptation it is. This book is incredibly well-written, fascinating, and completely disgusting all at once. The way Harris was able to write a female character like Starling so well is amazing. I love the relationship between Starling and Hannibal, and how Hannibal is completely in control of the narrative the whole time. This is truly a horror masterpiece that everyone, horror fanatic or not, should read!
