Summary: Pyschological thriller a its best
Review: This is the best book I've ever read and will probably ever read. It is the psychological thriller genre at its best. The book was fabulous and the ending was the best ever.

Rating:
Summary: Good book. Very good book.
Review: Silence of the Lambs is ten times better than Hannibal, but not quite as good as The Triumph and the Glory, or Memoirs of a Geisha. If you can keep all of that straight you win ten dollars. Seriously, Thomas Harris was at his peak when he wrote this chilling mega-hit and hasn't come close since. I don't know why, but it is a shame.

Rating:
Summary: Silence of the Lambs Truly is Great
Review: I'm an avid reader, though I don't usually read horror. I've dabbled into some Stephen King, and that's it. I can truly say Silence of the Lambs is one of the greatest novels I have ever read. Hannibal Lecter was a simply awesome character, who was written very well. For horror fans, this is a must-read.

Rating:
Summary: Compelling, a smart psychological thriller
Review: The Silence of the Lambs is one of the best books I have read to date. A smart, gruesome novel. Anyone w/ a strong stomach needs to read this book. A can't-miss hit.

Summary: GOOD BOOK, BAD ENDING
Review: Silence Of The Lambs is a first rate thriller!! Clarice Starling is an FBI agent who must find the demented serial killer Buffalo Bill, who skins his victims and leaves their bodies in lakes. Locked behind bars is psycho psychitrist "Hannibal the Cannibal" Lector who once killed his patients and ate parts of their bodies{Near the beginning of the book you'll find out what he did once to a nurse.} To the FBI it becomes obvious that Lector knows who Buffalo Bill is. Starling must get into Lector's mind first!!!!! After Buffalo Bill abducts Senator Martin's daughter, the FBI imediately sets into action!!!! Can Starling get through Lector to find out the name of Buffalo Bill before time wons out???? This novel is thrilling, but has a poor ending. I have yet to read the new Hannibal novel and Red Dragon, but I'll read them soon!!!

Rating:
Summary: WOW
Review: Red Dragon had some flaws and so did Silence of the Lambs, I find them equally great, I started reading at night and I had to keep reading untill day!

Summary: Riveting
Review: The stunning new WWII novel "The Triumph and the Glory" is the only book I've read lately that was as emotionally powerful as "The Silence of the Lambs". This book, which is far better than Hannibal, is a terrifying account of evil unleashed. It is a monumental achievement, a soul-searing look at the darkest recesses of the human soul.

Rating:
Summary: Stunning
Review: I read this book after seeing a review for the "Hannibal" in Time magazine. It was spectacular beyond anything I could have predicted. The depth with which you see the characters is amplifyed by the skillful subtlety which Mr. Harris uses. You really want Catherine to live, and you want Gumb to be caught. The way that he presented Lecter, made me, at least, want to have a conversation with him. I recommend this book to everyone with a strong stomach.

Summary: Swiftness Can't Overcome Illogic
Review: Thomas Harris' THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS reads like gangbusters, hurtling from one scene to the next with sure-fire rythym. Unfortunately, the story and charatcers are a complete wash. Clarice Starling is a pasty, uninteresting heroine, devoid of distinctiveness. Basically, for all the attention bestowed upon her, she comes off as nothing more than a young woman who can't get over her haunting childhood. And Buffalo Bill makes for a ridiculous serial killer; there's no insight or alluring texture to this particular killer -- he's simply a sensationalistic boogy man. In RED DRAGON, author Harris brilliantly conceived a fascinating hero and a just-as-fascinating villian for his nerve-jangling tale. Here, we have a generic plot and characters who just aren't worth engaging in. A bust
