I can now say I've read them all.
I very much liked the idea behind this book - after a three book series, jumping back to show the origins. Conceptually, it's sound and exciting. The execution, though - subpar.
I wonder, though: What is behind our fascination (as a society) - and borderline obsession - with serial killers like Hannibal? Puzzle that one out with me.

Unfortunately very meh, and paint-by-numbers. I suspect the origin of Hannibal Lecter's sociopathy (if there needs to be one) is best left unexplained.

disappointed - did you want to write a historical book or a thriller?
