(Finally adding the review way later, so I’m going off some old notes and what I vaguely remember lol)

There were some parts I found a tad boring, but that was prob more my mental space than the book itself. It was definitely fun reading the parts that got weaved into The Silence of the Lambs movie, even if it’s from a different book in the series. Very excited to read the next one.

Oh one of my biggest disappointments (or the biggest) was when Graham said “I could care less.” Guy is supposed to be hella intelligent and pulls that crap.

Good god I both can and cannot believe how many people are whining in the reviews saying they watched the Hannibal series and are upset he’s not in this book much. I can’t believe they had enough reading comprehension to make it through the entire book when they couldn’t make it through/comprehend the title (or synopsis) of the book. And totally missed that there is a book literally titled “Hannibal,” but they haven’t gotten there yet 🤦🏻‍♀️

I genuinely forgot this book supposed to be horror and started to root for the romance part because it was cute :') Still a good book, love reading about Hannibal just being locked up and obsessing over Will.

Very, very interesting book. The utilized word choice, pacing, and overall prose is wonderful. As the book moves on and the characters mental state changes so does the narration--at times I found myself fully immersed in the world of Will Graham and Francis Dolarhyde.
The appearance of Dr. Lecter was a welcome surprise! I found his charactization charming and deeply unsettling.
Needles to say, I'm excited to continue reading the work of Thomas Harris.

I actually think about this books a lot and how good it was. I really recommend and it’s much better than the film
it focusses on actual Francis not Hannibal so don’t expect stuff about Hannibal even though they put his name all on the front cover he’s just a minor character.
