A review by ganzfeldstate
Hannibal by Thomas Harris

3.0

I loved Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs and while this book was just as instantly absorbing, it didn't have quite the same depth or stir the same emotions in me as the first two books. I hate it when we get backstory to a 'villain' as it rarely seems very necessary, and the ending was massively out of character and genuinely shocked me. Maybe that was the point? Either way, enjoyable but not on the same par as the first two books in the trilogy. I think I may skip on reading Hannibal Rising altogether...
