Summary: Chilling romp through psycho-terror
Review: SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is a mesmerizing book, a terrifying journey through the dark unopened doors of the human psyche. Harris has written a stunning book, of all of the novels I've read recently only THE TRIUMPH AND THE GLORY can compare to it for emotional impact. I was drained when I finished it, it is an astounding work of fiction.

Summary: An Excellent Imaginary Excursion...
Review: This book is fluidly written; the story seems to flow from one page to the next and one can't help but get caught up in the author's frolicking imagination. There are some of the most clever conversations ever penned in this book, such as Lecter's acute breakdown of Clarice's history, and I hope that more people will read it...I know I will again, but not until I finish "Red Dragon" and "Hannibal". :-)

Summary: A Youngster's Synopsis
Review: I picked up the book after hearing great reviews. I was looking forward to a 'good, fun read' in a hot summer. I was very wrong. From the start, I got wound up in the terrifying prospects of the immense criminal genius of Hannibal Lecter, the steadfast yet young Clarice Starling, and the horrific ideals of 'Buffalo Bill', or Jame Gumb. A killer is on the loose, kidnapping girls and leaving their bodies sans skin for the authorities to discover. FBI trainee Clarice Starling is sent to ask dangerous Hannibal 'the Cannibal' Lecter to fill in a questionnaire, and is reluctantly sent on a 'treasure hunt' for the serial killer by Hannibal Lecter, who knows of him. It rides like a rollercoaster, and highlights include the phenomenal escape of Hannibal Lecter from the authorities and the shootout in the dark at the end. Througholy twisted, terribly enjoyable, I loved it, despit my age.

Summary: I couldn't find the section on leg of lamb
Review: I was very disappointed as I thought this was cookbook for the preparation of lamb and mutton.However, all was not lost. I purchased a set of plastic surgery scalples and flay my woolly friends here at the farm.

Summary: Truly Powerful and Disturbing
Review: Since I had only seen the film and not read the original text, I decided that in anticipation of Hannibal (June 1999) that I would go back and read the first two -- Red Dragon and Silence. I found the book to be truly spellbinding. Interestingly, this is one of the few books that the movie has been extremely faithful to depicting as written. I thoroughly enjoyed the two principal characters Hanibal Lecter and Clarice Starling. I look forward to Hannibal!

Summary: SERIOUSLY TWISTED!
Review: Well, being 11- reading this book really don`t help sleeping at night. I read this book over 2 months and it totally scared me. I read it at night before I went to bed and I used to dream about it. I saw the film in December and found it not like the book at all. The author must have a ummmmm "Vived" imagination! But this book is brilliant- go on and read it! I can`t wait to read the new book- if my parents will let me!

Summary: Thomas Harris defines Evil in this masterpiece of literature
Review: Truly one of the finest novels I've every experienced. Thomas Harris defines the very essence of evil in this excellently-well-written psychological thriller. He grabs hold of your psyche and takes you on a non-stop one way flight to the nether regions of the human soul. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great suspense, or psychological masterpiece.

Summary: Much better than the popular movie
Review: Like many others, Silence of the Lambs proves the fact that the book is always better than the movie. It is a *must* read, even though there should have been more chapters written from Lecter's perspective. On the other hand, there's less confusion in the book than in the movie and it's easier to understand Jame Gumb since they explain him indepth, and we can always get our Lecter-fix from the new book Hannibal. :)
