Title: Mildly Interesting
Review: While I pursued this book to have read the full trilogy that involves Hannibal Lecter, I was seriously disappointed. While a partially interesting story, it is nothing outstanding. The thing that makes me angry is that this book has been marketed in the last two months as a "must read" so that you'll meet Hannibal Lecter the first time he was introduced. Lecter is marginal to this story and takes up a miniscule portion of the book. I believe it is unfair to be less that truthful to readers in preparing the marketing campaign for Hannibal (June 1999 publication.) This 1981 first is nothing in comparison to Harris' follow-up "Silence of the Lambs" -- truly a classic.Disappointed overall!
