A review by acogna
The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

4.5

Better than its previous instalment by virtue of having more Lecter in it. The plot is also basically just Jonathan Demme's 1991 movie with a little more lore drops and detail. Surprisingly, a lot of the dialogue in the film is straight-up taken from this book, which is a discovery I really liked.

Hannibal and Clarice's interactions spark good banter and tension, and are easily the best part of this book.
