Summary: Brilliant and astonishing
Review: I loved this book. It amazed me. I never believed that Mr. Harris could write another Lecter book without selling out to the hoards, like Crichton's "Lost World". I held my breath throughout the book, blinking my eyes while turning pages. I am in awe of Thomas Harris.

Summary: What??
Review: I was really looking forward to this book. I enjoyed reading it, was swept up in the story early. The parts in Italy were very good. Somewhere in the last third, the story started to go awry. I don't know what the ending was supposed to portray...Clarice Starling was completely out of character. All in all, the book was entertaining, but alas, a little disappointing. I am not looking forward to a movie, afterall.

Summary: Wierd, appalling...but what's so bad about that?
Review: This book was an odyssey! I have to say I loved it. I read it in about a day and 1/2. Exquisite in it's craftsmanship, dark, confusing, seductive, twisted...just the way I like 'em! I *do* feel like the ending was a tad disconnected, but it was too much fun for me not to like it. But, all in all, I haven't so thoroughly enjoyed a thriller since Silence of the Lambs itself! Oh, and as a side note, I loved the lecture on Dante's Inferno. Gotta love that Dante.

Summary: HUH
Review: I know what took Thomas Harris so long to write this book. He had to bribe Danielle Steele to finish the last three chapters!What a goofy book. Someone, please tell Mr Harris that he has no future as a romance novelist. And Hannibal as a movie? Well, only if you can get Fabio to play Lector, Charo as Starling and Dustin Hoffman as Tootsie playing Margot. Yes, folks, a comedy!

Summary: this book is soooo bad!!!.
Review: After reading Hannibal I was convined someone else wrote it. I think Mr. Harris needed money and time was running out. He paid someone else to slap this together before deadline. It is that bad. The plot was pathetic. I was bored to start with but hoped it would get better. It got worse! The Barney and sister thing was ridiulous. Tom Harris may have suffered from writers block. I could have come up with a better plot.

Summary: HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!
Review: After "Red Dragon" and "Silence of the Lambs" I was anxiously awaiting "Hannibal." Boy, was I disappointed in Thomas Harris' latest effort. His new book is over-the-top, pretentious dross. Mason Verger is a surviving victim of Lecter who is hideously scarred and paralyzed from the encounter. He spends his life hooked up to a respirator in the family mansion (Muskrat Farm) dreaming of extracting revenge against Lecter by having him captured then eaten alive by large, vicious, selectively-bred swine. This is just plain STUPID. Why does Harris feel the need to include a day care center for welfare kids in this mansion where Verger watches the kids play via video camera? Another ridiculous character is Rinaldo Pazzi. Pazzi is the Chief Inspector of Police in Florance, Italy on the trail of Lecter. He apparently is capable of instantaneously solving crmes by his super-human sense of hearing and smell. What? The over-the-top characterizations continue as Lecter now seems to be the smartest man alive. Lecter also becomes this sympathy-seeking victim who ends up revealing details of his past like a guest on a really bad episode of "Donahue." Toward the end of the book I found myself not even caring how it was going to end. I was hoping that somehow the killer swine would consume all involved. Perhaps Mr. Harris should stay in seclusion or gone on to different subject matter.

Summary: Completely unbelievable, almost entirely disgusting
Review: Mr. Harris has managed to foist upon his readers a work that, while taking place in what must be a parallel universe, manages to have no, absolutely no, characters with any redeeming qualities. His characters are distinguished only by their monstronsity and the degree of their veniality. I suppose this sort of thing appeals to those who enjoy cheap horror films but I feel cheated out of the price that I paid. A shame, I enjoyed "The Silence Of The Lambs"
Rating:
Summary: Never wanted it to end
Review: This is without a doubt the BEST book that I have ever read. I read the first 99 chapters non stop but then put it down for about two weeksbecause I didn't want it to end. I thought maybe I wouldn't finish it and wait for the film.I just couldn't wait anymore and I washappy that I didn't because it left me with a smile knowing that there has to be more to come. Please don't wait another seven years I couldn't stand it.

Summary: I got bored...
Review: After "Silence of the Lambs", I expected something dark, gritty and maybe a little gory. What happened was a lot of "brainless" violence, a strange story and an ending that is too screwed up for words. I'd say pass...

Summary: The best from Thomis Harris scince "Slilence of the Lambs"
Review: I tought that Hannibal was a thriller and a great book to read. Plenty of gore and it kept me on the edge of my seat the hole time I was reading it!!!
