So I figured I'd return to the source material!!
Oh, quick note, I absolutely loved the first novel - but reading it is not necessary to understand Silence of the Lambs...though it does lend a deeper context to quite a few characters.
I honestly thought I could not love a character as much as Will Graham. Empathetic, dog-loving, fisherman Will Graham. But Clarice Starling really charmed me. She's blunt in a truthful way, she's warm but not a doormat, and she's so incredibly persevering that it's no wonder Hannibal takes a shining to her. The way that Thomas Harris writes characters is so relatably real - it's like these people really exist out there in the world somewhere. Which is an incredible feat - that they're that nuanced when Harris' writing style is quite blunt and can, at times, be quite technical.
I can see why the film/s and tv show were so good when they had this kind of source material! I can't wait to read the next two!!!
