Yeah this rocked. It was a fun read and super engaging. There are problematic parts, certainly, but it slays hard enough to get away with it I think. I found this one to be much faster paced than the Red Dragon, and while I love Will deeply Clarice is just so dynamic and interesting to me. You don’t necessarily need to read the others to understand it so don’t be afraid to pick it up, especially if you like the movie.
