The Silence of the Lambs is my absolute favorite movie, and the book does not disappoint. It’s beautifully written. The one thing that is a tiny bit disappointing is that some of the most iconic lines from the movie aren’t verbatim in the book, but obviously that’s not the book’s fault.
As a trans person I’m very glad about the distinction made between Buffalo Bill and actual trans people.
