by Grouch  in Books,  - Top 200, Jun 24 '00
Pros: For Hannibal-philes only
Cons: If you're a bibliophile, stay far, far away
I’ve got a theory why Thomas Harris’ new novel is so bad: Dr. Hannibal Lecter rose up, killed his creator, disemboweled him, ate his liver for dinner (with the requisite fava beans side dish, of course), then replaced Harris with a hack.

Pros: Wonderful character growth, stunning revelations, surprising conclusion, good storytelling
Cons: None.
The USDA food pyramid does show that fresh meat is an important staple of every healthy diet so get your scalpel out and dig into Hannibal Lector’s macabre world of exotic gourmet. Even better, have a friend over for a dinner of fava beans and a ...

Pros: A good read
Cons: Ending takes time to get used to
Hannibal by Thomas Harris is the sequel to the to the first book Silence of the Lambs by the same author. I didn’t read the first book but rented the movie. I got to know Clarice Starling and Dr. Hannibal Lector on my television set.
In the...

Pros: Creepy (not the brain thing, I expected that), insights into Hannibal's mind
Cons: Found myself a little disappointed with the ending, surprisingly
Ever since I saw the movie H
annibal,
I’ve wanted to read the book. I totally dig on Anthony Hopkins. Took long enough to get this thing though… Hannibal is the next book in line after ...

by amykhar - Top 500, Apr 21 '01
Pros: scary, intense, and riveting
Cons: nothing major
I have a confession to make. I liked Dr. Hannibal Lecter in the movie The Silence of the Lambs. I liked his quiet manners, his intelligence, and the strange code of ethics that he held himself to. I put myself in Agent Starling’s shoes,...

Pros: Hannibal is back
Cons: Not as gripping as the other entries in the trilogy
After much anticipation, Hannibal the Cannibal, aka Dr. Hannibal Lechter, returns in Thomas Harris’ third (and probably final) installment of the trilogy that began with Red Dragon and was followed by the enormously successful Silence of the...

Pros: Beautiful, literate writing
Cons: Really bad plot twist
“Hannibal” is the latest adventure of the world’s most popular cannibal, Hannibal Lector. Lector, as you will recall was first introduced by Harris in "Red Dragon"
and (with somewhat more than an assist from Anthony Hopkins in the...

by JustCathy - Top 1000, Jun 01 '00
Pros: Good Continuation of the Life of Dr. Hannibal Lecter
Cons: Builds up very slowly, Unrealistic
**Major details of this book will not be revealed in this review out of deference to those who wish to read "Hannibal"!**
After reading the reviews on Thomas Harris' latest book - "Hannibal", I really was looking forward to...

Pros: Not too many slow parts.
Cons: Some of the parts are tacky at best .
Most all of us have seen the movie Silence Of The Lambs . Most everyone also agrees it was a great show . Well , I haven't yet found the time to see Hannibel , but read the book with eager anticipation .
I feel the author...

Pros: The first book was great
Cons: The ending is well........
And so this is the way the sequel to The Silence of the Lambs begins. Hannibal is an interesting mix of corruption, greed and LOVE??????
Seven years have passed since the escape of the Hannibal Lecter. The world has been quiet and everyone has...

Pros: Makes you wonder with every page turn, just where it's going to go next!
Cons: There could be ACTUAL PEOPLE out there just like this!
It creeped me out so badly, I can't wait to see the MOVIE! YIKES!
Let me say first off that this book started off kind of slow. There was the requisite set-up of what Clarice Starling's been up to since she captured Jame Gumm in Silence of...

Pros: the middle part of the book. the detail.
Cons: THE ENDING! not as scary as I was expecting.
I have not seen the movies “Silence of the Lambs” or “Hannibal”. I did not read the first two books of the “Dr. Lecter series”. I do enjoy a good abnormal psychology novel though so I borrowed this book from a friend. Reading the cover of book got me...

by achoo , Jul 26 '00
Pros: potentially very interesting concept
Cons: wastes time writing about irrelevancies, neglects to develop any meaningful interaction between Hannibal and Clarice
After she had read it, a friend of mine passed on her softcover copy of Hannibal to me with the words, "good book except for the ending." I had read enough epinions to realize that people either loved the book or hated it, and most of the...

by Trotterman - Top 1000, Feb 24 '01
Pros: It appears to be 100% biodegradable.
Cons: This is the worst thing I've read since my last sitdown in a public restroom.
I would say this is the worst book ever written in the history of mankind, womankind and primordial-being-making scratches-in -the-dirt-and-finger painting-the-cave-walls-kind. I would say that and the only thing stopping me is that I haven't actually...

by eric_james , Sep 05 '00
Pros: Passes the time, a good premise, an intriguing theme
Cons: Badly written, plot is not credible, Hannibal is more an etching than a full-fleshed character.
Thomas Harris wrote two barely credible novels, both of which I read, that etched out the persona of Hannibal Lecter. The previous novels were basic hack jobs with some decent genre characterization, and an enticing plot (though often held together by...
