    Unlike everyone else on the planet I never saw this movie and am currently reading the book.

    And highly enjoyable it is too.

    The book "Hannibal" sucks goats cheese.

    It did get intresting but the ending was absolute kack and I got the impression the people from Silence of the lambs were just put into the book to sell it (eg. Sammy).

    Of the three Red Dragon is the best.

    in my entire life i think ive never read a book that was absolute crap. Something in it would redeem it somehow. All that changed when i read the gangrenous bollokks that is Hannibal. Red Dragon, on the other hand, is absolutely goddamn brilliant.

    finished it this morning. the ending, is so supreme. it just finishes hannibal. it makes him complete. and starling is just... ahhhhh! i've gone all word-store-less in the face of it substance. drohelhyde (sp?) was brilliantly rendered, i'll give you that, but the verger siblings and krendler...
    grrr! "grrr!" "ahhh!" and "...", well this has been Kevin's elequont book review for this week. thanks for your time and remember folks, always trust my elequont opinions! smile.gif

    Mhmmmmm, I liked Hannibal quite a lot. Very well written - I really like Harris' turn of phrase - and it kept moving at a good pace, as well as being nicely unpredictable. Some of the imagery in it was both disturbed and fascinating... The, ah, talkative dinner dish in particualar smile.gif

    Ja,

    F uck that. Compare the Vergers to Dolarhyde from Red Dragon. Incredibly scary portrait of a complete loon, to cartoonish rubbish about a complete loon with no face, Harris can write well, no doubt, by my God, was i dissappointed by Hannibal.
