Summary: Heart Stopping Chills Killed By Insidious Ending...
Review: Had me by the hairs on the back of my neck. Hannibal is every bit as unpredictable and evil as ever. Love Clarice Starling again in this book though she takes a back seat to Hannibal. But HORRIBLE HORRIBLE ENDING. UNACCEPTABLE ENDING. RUINED THE WHOLE BUILD UP. PREPOSTEROUS.

Summary: Good audiobook, but....
Review: I listened to the unabridged audiobook version of HANNIBAL, read by Daniel Gerroll. I have to admit that when the first tape started, Gerroll's voice wasn't one I thought would be suitable for this book. I quickly changed my mind, though, and eagerly anticipated each time I got into the car and could listen to this book. Gerroll did an excellent job with the different voices, accents, and vocal impediments of the characters that I almost forgive how wrong the ending of this book was for the story and its characters. Yes, it was gruesome and gory, but I felt the ending was just plain wrong. I've been a big fan of Harris in the past, but he just lost me with this one.At least I can say I enjoyed Gerroll's reading and will look for more readings from him.

Summary: YOU WON'T LOSE SLEEP OVER IT
Review: After rave reviews I was expecting a novel I couldn't put down...not the case. My intentions were to pull the pin at chapter 75, but I perservered and finished it. I would have liked to have taken an axe to it...dr lecter style. Overall not a bad read...but not the best.

Summary: Worth the wait for Thomas Harris Fans
Review: For all of us Thomas Harris fans, the wait for Hannibal was a long one, and maybe he has spoiled us with Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs. Hannibal is a very good book, but it does leave you a bit empty in the end. I felt the premise of searching for Lecter and the fate awaiting him was quite good. I thought though the book dragged a bit as we became familiar with the history of Florence, Italy. We want action! We want suspense! Who needs culture? Overall though, the book allows us into the twisted mind of Hannibal and gives us some insight to why he does what he does. Clarice is basically a non-factor till the end of the book. The Mason Verger character is also quite interesting. The ending left me scratching my head, but also made me smile as Harris had taken me for another wild ride. I only hope the next book comes out a little quicker.

Summary: Hard to put down
Review: Thomas Harris takes us into the world and mind of Hannibal Lector. He shows us his pleasures and pains. Verger is a very interesting character so hideous that you will be amazed at what he does. Part 2 is kind of dull but the rest of the book makes up for it. Very hard to put down.

Summary: Very Disappointing! Lack Luster!
Review: The author provided such compelling details about the characters and the plot but gave a very weak ending. Good build up but not a good close which ruined the whole experience.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!!!
Review: Thomas Harris had me hearing things outside of my room late atnight while I was reading this book. It gave me the creeps. I love theway the story followed and the introduction of the other characters. It's not as good as the first two, but it deserves a high mark. I didn't give it five stars because of the ending. It could have ended much better.

Summary: interesting use of knowledge of psychology
Review: Thomas Harris uses his knowledge of the human psyche to delve deep into the minds of his characters and disturb the minds of his readers. His work is celebrated! The ending is brilliant (although, before much consideration extremely farfetched). Who could honestly resist a person who knows you better than you know yourself?

Summary: Be prepared for bad dreams
Review: Once again Mr. Harris takes into a twisted world from which you don't want to escape no matter how horrible it gets. The pages turned quite easily in this book always wanting to see if the story could become any more disturbing.It does!

Summary: "Hannibal" is a clever, riveting thriller.
Review: I anticipated reading Thomas Harris' next book after reading "Red Dragon" and seeing "Silence of the Lambs." "Hannibal" is one of the most satisfying pop literature thrillers I have ever read. Mr. Harris' writing style does not insult your intelligence. Gothic and historical references abound. I enjoyed this book and would recommended it to any fan of contemperary horror. Lecter is THE anti-Hero of the 90's.
