Negative Positive
Title: Uninteresting
Review: After reading "Hannibal', 'Red Dragon' just couldn't compare. I suffered through 'Red Dragon' because so many of the negative comments about 'Hannibal' seemed to mention how wonderful 'Red Dragon' was in comparison.Sorry. My equation has worked out differently. 'Red Dragon' is a genre novel, locked within the given parameters; it never travels beyond. The cop is only slightly interesting. The serial killer isn't interesting at all.In 'Hannibal', genre is transcended. The reader has no idea where the journey will end, and once at its end the reader has no idea how to feel. Is the end good or bad, or simply banal? Well, I found the ending of 'Hannibal' profoundly disturbing and so much more intriguing than the ending of 'Red Dragon'.For those of you who like typical books with typical endings, this one is for you.
Is the review positive or negative?
