I honestly don't get why the averaged out review score for this book is so low. It wasn't revolutionary by any means, but it has all the hallmarks of a Thomas Harris book nonetheless. Every drop of blood carries the essence of Hannibal. The protagonist is well-written. So is the villain. Him deserving everything that would come his way is the point. You're not supposed to like him. The misogyny and the predatory behaviour is the point. It's not bad writing. It's the plot. It's what the book's about. Bad guy is bad.
