  <default_description>As part of the search for a serial murderer nicknamed &quot;Buffalo Bill,&quot; FBI trainee Clarice Starling is given an assignment. She must visit a man confined to a high-security facility for the criminally insane and interview him.

That man, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, is a former psychiatrist with unusual tastes and an intense curiosity about the darker corners of the mind. His intimate understanding of the killer and of Clarice herself form the core of The Silence of the Lambs--an unforgettable classic of suspense fiction.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[One of the greatest novels I've ever read.  Excellent plot, deep symbolism, and beautifully created badguys.  I wish I could come up with such a wonderful badguy for my novel.  Also this book led me to my new policy of always seeing the movie before reading the book.  I saw this movie first, loved i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44147340">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Personally, I liked this book.  It was disturbing but the relationship between the cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecter and agent Clarece Starling was very intriguing.  It is a rather graphic and unsettling story about serial killers and criminal psychology, but Thomas Harris does a really good job with dev...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76100613">more...</a>]]></body>

I don't have any complaints - except that from what I read other books in the series aren't about Clarice and she and Lecter are my favorite characters...
