I genuinely forgot this book supposed to be horror and started to root for the romance part because it was cute :') Still a good book, love reading about Hannibal just being locked up and obsessing over Will.

Very, very interesting book. The utilized word choice, pacing, and overall prose is wonderful. As the book moves on and the characters mental state changes so does the narration--at times I found myself fully immersed in the world of Will Graham and Francis Dolarhyde.

Spoiler

The appearance of Dr. Lecter was a welcome surprise! I found his charactization charming and deeply unsettling.

Needles to say, I'm excited to continue reading the work of Thomas Harris.

I like this book because im obsessed with the Hannibal series. It very much feels like it was written back in 1988. Lots of racism and homophobia and very detailed childhood abuse. I dont like this Will Graham as much as I liked Edward Nortons Will Graham in the film adaptation or the NBC series but it was alright. Definitely a cult classic that probably wouldn't get the same following if published today.

Many mentions of graphic childhood abuse. Graphic depictions of gore and torture. A fair amount of racism and homophobia.

I actually think about this books a lot and how good it was. I really recommend and it’s much better than the film
it focusses on actual Francis not Hannibal so don’t expect stuff about Hannibal even though they put his name all on the front cover he’s just a minor character.

I enjoyed this a lot, it came together really well but I felt the conclusion was a little rushed. Probably gonna check out the other books in the series while I'm at it.
