gingerroot 's review for:

Red Dragon by Thomas Harris
3.5
dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated
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.
