idahovic 's review for:

Red Dragon by Thomas Harris
3.0

I enjoyed "Red Dragon." It's a bit on the gory/violent side but I'm ok with that in a novel. The plot and pacing are fined and the characters well rounded and believable. Harris' prose never gets in the way of telling the story. The writing is crisp, without a lot of stylistically driven mumbo jumbo.
In short a good read, if you like serial killer police procedurals. It would make a fine beach read or if you're snowed in. Not a world shaking masterpiece but a fine read nonetheless.
