3.5

The second half is way more interesting and tense than the first wich is a real slog to get through. Also Hannibal Lecter is advertised as a major character on the front and back of the book but he only appears on like 10 pages. Overall I'd save the time and watch the 2002 movie with Anthony Hopkins instead.
