Negative Positive
Title: An excellent novel by an excellent author
Review: Thomas Harris is probably one of the most engaging writers in America today.This book proves that.This terrifying masterpiece is set 7 years before the OTHER masterpiece which would follow,I'm talking of course about SOTL.This is an awesome read,much better than the movie,although that was a good try and did manage to capture the spirit of Mr.Harris' novel in some scenes-particularly those involving Lecter.There is more to be found here than blood and guts,which is just a cheap gimmick anyway.There is text and subtext.In the words you'll discover another world-one inhabited by such nightmarish figures as Francis Dolarhyde and his insanely tyranical grandmother.This is not some place you wanna be,yet you can't help but reading on,page after page.
