don’t waste your time or money. not only is this book the most boring thing i’ve ever read, it’s enraging lol

hannibal rising is the only worth-it thomas harris book, & that’s only if you’re interested in understanding hannibal as a person.

cw// child grooming

don’t get me wrong — this book IS worth reading. it’s a welcomed insight into hannibal’s trauma & it builds a solid backstory. it makes it all make sense. it broke my heart! i love him (nbc hannibal) so so so so much ok

but what the fuck is wrong with thomas harris. he wrote an entire child grooming romance with lady murasaki. AND it doesn’t read at all as “he was groomed by the woman who took him in as a traumatized mute child, which messed up his mental state even more!”
it read as “and then he kissed his sexy aunt”

don’t bother. the goodreads reviews are hyping it up for no reason other than misogyny.
