5.0

This book is an amazing story, not only does it have diverse characters and plot, it has an ending that will haunt you for a long time. Will Graham’s internal battles with his trauma and pure empathy are well thought out and written, as well as
Francis Dolahyde’s own struggles with his battles with the “dragon” and he is a tragic character who always seems to want to stop but just can’t manage it
the introduction to Hannibal Lecter is both thought provoking and spine chilling. All in all an amazing read and a must read if you are a fan of phycological horror and mystery novels.
