The best of the best. Bar none, Hannibal Lecter is the most compelling and dangerous character I've come across. I read the novel just as the movie was released in the theater, so I already had Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster pictured as I was reading it, which worked very well for me.
I later saw the movie and it really succeeded in bringing the novel
to life. You've probably already seen the movie, but it does miss out on some brilliant dialogue between Clarice and Lecter here.
An absolute must read for psychological suspense fans! Enjoy with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
