Rating: Summary: BETTER THAN LAMBS! Review: I was astounded that Thomas Harris could outdo himself in a sequel to a book as kinky and fascinating as Silence of the Lambs. But here is the proof. Those who have blasted it can't even spell correctly. Highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Style and Plot left everything to be desired Review: I love to read but I found myself skimming throughout the whole book. It was so contrived and implausible. What a disappointment. Thank God I got it out of the library and didn't waste my money. Just my time.
Rating: Summary: A dud! Review: Very disappointing sequal to The Silence of the Lambs. Paper cutout characters. No suspense. A totally ridiculous ending. Don't waste your money!
Rating: Summary: sometimes fascinating, often intriguing, ultimately bizarre Review: bascially I like the book but the ending was so bizarre, I am still wondering what the point is. oh well, I guess if it was predictable, there would be a ton of people complaining about that...still, i never saw it coming. i'd recommend it...not overly gross. seems like a book that would come from a recluse, albiet intellectual.
Rating: Summary: Ugh. Gimmie a break. Review: Ugh. I won't spoil it for everyone but if this book ended by aliens came down and sucked Hannibal Lecter up to their spaceship for mating rituals, THAT would have been a move believable ending. Hannibal? No, Horribal.
Rating: Summary: You were expecting the Michelin Guide to Fine Dining? Review: So the book is a little sloppy. So the story did not end the way a formula detective story would. When you cook with a diabolically insane cannibal, don't expect a familiar recipe. The ingredients in this concoction are seldom found at the local supermarket. Try it. You may acquire a taste for something other than ffffava beans.
Rating: Summary: Boring Review: What a disappointment. I loved Harris' earlier books and was very much looking forward to this one. I read half the book and couldn't make myself keep picking it up.Harris had two fascinating characters to work with and blew it.
Rating: Summary: Keeps getting better Review: I enjoyed this book and can't wait until they make the movie. When's the next book come out?
Rating: Summary: This book is an insult! Review: I have never been so insulted! Harris must think his readers are idiots if he dares to end this book the way he did.
Rating: Summary: Open your mind and this book will amaze you. It's worth it! Review: I respect the way that Mr. Harris handled this book. I would never have expected to root for Hannibal Lector, but I found myself doing so. When you get past all the gore, you'll learn what makes Hannibal "tick" and suddenly you are on his side. You'll discover a relationship between Hannibal and Clarice that is both spellbinding and compassionate. The ending that was perfect! It could not have ended any other way. Thank you Mr. Harris for "closure".
