I read this because I recently got hyperfixated on Hannibal. There are many obvious differences, but I still enjoyed the story quite a bit. 

The characters still felt the same as they do in the show. I liked how we were able to see each characters complex thoughts and feelings at different times in the book.

There is some racism and misogyny but it's a book written in the 80's so it's not surprising.

The writing is very straightforward. No poetic prose or anything. Though, I didn't mind it at all.

The book was paced well and felt like following a real investigation.

I enjoyed the characters and the mystery. Looking forward to the rest of the series :)
