Hannibal Rising
Hannibal Rising | Thomas Harris
25 posts | 98 read | 26 to read
HE IS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTING CHARACTERS IN ALL OF LITERATURE. AT LAST THE EVOLUTION OF HIS EVIL IS REVEALED. Hannibal Lecter emerges from the nightmare of the Eastern Front, a boy in the snow, mute, with a chain around his neck. He seems utterly alone, but he has brought his demons with him. Hannibals uncle, a noted painter, finds him in a Soviet orphanage and brings him to France, where Hannibal will live with his uncle and his uncles beautiful and exotic wife, Lady Murasaki. Lady Murasaki helps Hannibal to heal. With her help he flourishes, becoming the youngest person ever admitted to medical school in France. But Hannibals demons visit him and torment him. When he is old enough, he visits them in turn. He discovers he has gifts beyond the academic, and in that epiphany, Hannibal Lecter becomes deaths prodigy.

⭐️⭐️ Far-fetched, and at times, gruesome backstory on Lecter. Thank the gods it was shorter than Hannibal, but still not a great read. That the first two books were utterly brilliant and that the last two were so not is truly disappointing.

I don't know exactly what I was expecting when I started this book, but it definitely wasn't this.
I've read this series in publication order, so I knew Hannibal. But knowing the why behind Hannibal gives this whole series a different feel.
I'll have to go back and read it chronologically.

I have officially finished the Hannibal Lecter series! This explores Hannibal‘s origins and the atrocities he goes through in Lithuania during WWII. We finally see what made him the way he is. It‘s rough reading at times but I did find it satisfying and was oddly rooting for him on his quest for revenge for his sister Mischa‘s brutal death at the hands of a gang of despicable war criminals. I‘m excited to finally watch the show. This doesn‘t ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Seem to be as well-developed a story as the rest of the series and just skims the surface really, but it gets the job done and is a fast read. I‘d highly recommend the entire series, with books 2 and 3 being the best imo. 4⭐️ 3y
Clare-Dragonfly I really need to read this and finish the series! I‘m disappointed to find it doesn‘t continue the story from Hannibal though. 3y

JenlovesJT47 @Clare-Dragonfly I know what you mean! I need to know more about Hannibal and you-know-who. The ending of Hannibal broke my brain but the more I think about it, the more sense it makes. One can dream he‘ll write another Hannibal book someday. Have you seen the show? I‘m so excited to start it. The Hannibal movie was disappointing and I‘m wondering if the movie for this one does it justice. Let me know when you finally read it! 🤗 3y
Clare-Dragonfly I haven‘t seen the show but I‘ve seen a lot of tumblr posts about it 😅 3y
JenlovesJT47 @Clare-Dragonfly I was just skimming my old reviews and I thought I‘d mention that my husband and I sped through all 3 seasons of Hannibal and it was excellent! I‘m still wishing there were more episodes and I can‘t wait for a rewatch. It has excellent acting, is very unusual, and is visually stunning (especially the food!). You should definitely watch it when you get a chance! 🤗 3y

Wow, what a childhood Hannibal had. What makes a serial killer? What makes a cannibal? This was a great read into a look at what made the man.

JenDR I remember reading this a few years ago and liking the backstory of Dr. Lecter. I felt like I got some answers to questions I had while reading Silence of the Lambs. 4y

It's been a long time. I put down my phone for a while, social media was becoming so hectic. So of course I immersed myself in books. I decided recently to read some books I was never allowed to read when I was younger, and the first set I went with is the Hannibal Lecter books by Thomas Harris. Currently trying to read them in chronological order. I am in love with these books and it's the perfect time of year ❤

I know that many people feel this book was a let down from the previous books in the series. I really appreciated getting to know Lecter‘s upbringing, and all things that made him trick so to speak. I didn‘t feel it was a let down. I enjoyed it. It was a bit slow for my taste. I appreciated but didn‘t love it.

Found these new for a good bargain yesterday & couldn‘t help myself! I‘ve read all except the tagged book. I enjoyed them enough to buy & then re-read them. Now all I need is Red Dragon & the tagged book. 📚🎶

A bit late with the Halloween reads, but Halloween is all year round, right? Having devoured the rest of the series, it seems a bit strange to end with a young Hannibal, but for a while I thought I'd mislaid this book. Finally ready to revisit the ultimate prince of darkness! #currentlyreading #catsoflitsy #cats #horrorfiction #spooky #covercrush

This one just didn‘t deliver like I hoped. We learn the story of Hannibal‘s upbringing and medical training and how his bizarre killing methods and cannibalism began. Unfortunately, I had difficulty staying engaged with the story. #MountTBR

How did I choose this book: I chose it because I was camping with my dad and didn‘t bring a book to read and it started raining and he told me that there were some books in the cupboard above his bed.
Write a brief summary of the novel: Who was the protagonist? What was the problem and how was the problem solved

The story of Hannibal Lecter's origin didn't captivate me. Critical plot points felt rushed and dull. There's something about the pacing and language that I couldn't get behind.

This book was the best of the series in my opinion. It allows the readers to meet and get to know Hannibal in a new dark light.
