reading some of the comments on the ending. Like yes the ending was unexpected but not at the same time in a way? Starling always had conflicted feelings I feel like they got together straight away instead of a more slow burn kinda thing? I can’t really explain it but it was always bound to happen, The 2 only things that I dislike and this is me being nit picky is Hannibal’s weird thing with his sister I was just kinda of confused why he was relating her to starling and 2 was how quick they got together I know the slow burn was happening over the silence of and as well but I feel like something was missing??? But honestly the book had so much stuff I really enjoyed I can look over it

Where Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs hit with beautiful, bleak poignancy, Hannibal falls entirely flat.
I know I'm being harsh. In part, it's because I genuinely love this series and find the basic plot of Hannibal to be uniquely beautiful. I still feel that way, but the plot itself is absolutely suffocated by layers of strange racism and cheap shock value. I'm no wilting flower; I enjoy gore and shocking elements. However, the details in this book shift between out-of-touch at best and needlessly disgusting at worst.
I doubt I'll ever read this again, which is a shame because there are some gems hidden among all of the awful bits.
Thomas Harris, what the fuck?
