Summary: Red Dragon
Review: I read this book many years ago, and have recommended it to dozens of people. My own paperback copy is probably out there circulating somewhere. A truly awesome book, not for the faint of heart.

Summary: A great read!
Review: This book is a non-stop thrill ride that will keep you guessing the entire book. Will Grahm is a great character along with a short appearance by Dr. Hannibal Lecter, they both contribute great amounts to this very suspensful novel.

Summary: THE BEST THRILLER!!!!
Review: If there is a better thriller out there then please please let me know what it is.. Silience of the lambs may be more popular but this book blows silience out of the water.. For sure the best of the 3 lectur books, though not to take anything away from the other 2, i enjoyed both of them very much.. but this is truly harris's best work.

Summary: Good, but not great.
Review: I enjoyed the book overall. The ending was too predictable. Sometimes it was too detailed. But, the killer was crazy enough to be intrigueing. And the forensic descriptions were incredible. If you like true crime books this one is very good.
Rating:
Summary: A very good horror Story, but no Hannibal Lecter
Review: Don't get me wrong. This is a very good book about a monster, but we can only read about Dr. Lecter for only a few lines, and he is only a accessory character to the story. Mr. Harris did not need him for this book, so I repeat myself: A very good horror story, but no Hannibal Lecter.

Summary: Makes you want to sleep with the lights on.
Review: Red Dragon held me captive. This murder mystery/horror novel evoked curiosity, fear, repulsion, and sympathy. I can honestly say I was spell-bound throughout the book and simply could not put it down. I started it late on a Friday night, finally fell asleep after 3 a.m. (with all lights and TV on) and read from 8:30 the next morning until the mid-afternoon when I finished. Really a wonderful book that reads like your watching a movie. Not for the weak of heart, however.

Summary: Exciting - Better than Hannibal
Review: If you enjoyed Silence of the Lambs I'd suggest reading Red Dragon before Hannibal. Red Dragon's characters are rich and the story is touching and beleivable with two interesting love relationships that add real depth and character. Hannibal Lechter is interesting but a minor player. The story is wonderful on without Dr. Lechter.
Rating:
Summary: Be amazed
Review: Note the date of publication. Harris is the best at putting the detective into the mind of the murderer (tip of the hat to John D. and Truman Capote). Will Graham is a more interesting creation than Clarice. A frightening page-turner that is populated with damaged souls becoming... You will not forget this one.

Summary: In awe until the end...
Review: Instead of giving a synopsis of the story, which has been done well by amazon, I will give you some of my thoughts and reactions to the book.From the 2nd chapter to about the 50th I was very interested in the story. The plot was fast moving and I could not put the book down, wanting to know more about the killer and what he was thinking. However, like another reviewer explains, the ending is cliché. Evenmore, the ending is a bit, rushed to say the least. Nevertheless, this book is a good read and I feel that any fan of the genre should read it. But don't be upset if you are dissapointed by the ending, I told you so. But if you liked it, then fine, good for you.

Summary: Red Dragon - enjoy it, but don't be mislead by Hannibal Hype
Review: Red dragon is a compelling suspense novel with familiar characters. It is definitely worth reading, and will hold your attention to the exclusion of nearly everything else. However, if you have been lured here by the prospect of "meeting Hannibal Lechter for the first time", don't get your hopes up. This book, contrary to the hype on the cover, is NOT about the introduction of Hannibal Lechter, his crimes, and his capture; it is about a mass murderer who calls himself the Red Dragon. Lechter has but a minor cameo role from his cell, as the man who captured him consults with Hannibal briefly, as did Clarice Starling in "Silence of the Lambs", in order to better get a picture of the criminal currently at large. The story of Hannibal's crimes and capture, apparently, has still not been written.
