Silence of the Lambs | Thomas Harris
As part of the search for a serial murderer nicknames "Buffalo Bill," FBI trainee Clarice Starling is given an assignment. She must visit a man confined to a high-security facility for the criminally insane and interview him.That man, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, is a former psychiatrist with unusual tastes and an intense curiosity about the darker corners of the mind. His intimate understanding of the killer and of Clarice herself form the core of Thomas Harris' "The Silence of the Lambs"--an unforgettable classic of suspense fiction.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ FBI trainee Clarice Starling is tasked with interviewing Dr. Hannibal Lecter in hopes that he can assist in catching an active serial murderer. Gratefully, I‘ve never seen the film, so I was able to create this in my head, and it was disturbingly brilliant.

Took so long to finish but I was constantly mentally comparing and contrasting the book with the movie. It was good but too much sometimes. The whole story is creepy as hell, based on real life monsters. Good writing. I'm interested in more Thomas Harris but not anytime soon.

Gruesome. Descriptive. Eerie. Mysterious. Chilling.
The plot was intriguing, the characters were developed well, the POV switches were done well so we get different information. I liked Hannibal and Clarices weird relationship. I also liked how similar the movie is to the book.

Really really enjoyed this book. So ahead of its time with such a strong female lead. I remembered the film being good, but the characterisation in the book is even more powerful. Excellent thriller.

The Silence of the Lambs is one of my all-time favorite movies. It‘s a masterpiece in my personal opinion. People like Hannibal Lecter are way scarier to me than most supernatural horror movies because they‘re so disturbingly real. I finally bit the bullet and started the book series. Red Dragon was great. This book was hard to put down, but through most of it I was thinking it‘s one of those rare instances where the movie is slightly better ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Than the book. That is, until I got to the last 150 pages or so. I was going to go to sleep around 3:30 this morning but the book was nagging at me to read it (I had 200ish pages left). I told myself, ok, I‘ll just read a few chapters. Next thing I know it‘s 6:30 in the morning and I‘m finishing the book. Apologies for the longwindedness, but this book was so effing good!! If I had never seen the movie I would have been completely on the edge ⬇️ 3y
JenlovesJT47 Of my seat! Of course, we get a lot more backstory in the book, and getting into the various characters‘ thoughts really adds a lot to it. All this to say, if you like thrillers/horror, PLEASE read this book. Imo, Dr. Lecter is the scariest movie villain of all time, and I‘m already about to dive into book 3, Hannibal. Excited about it since I haven‘t seen the last two movies. 5+⭐️! #horror #thriller #booksintomovies 3y
Bklover I remember LOVING this book, and I read it before the movie. May be time for a reread! 3y

JenlovesJT47 @Bklover you should!! It‘s so good. Are you into audiobooks? I just looked this up on Audible and the great Frank Muller narrates it and it has rave reviews. I‘m going to wait a few months and give it a listen. The reviews are so good that I went ahead and bought it anyway! 😆 Such a great book! 🤗❤️ 3y
Clare-Dragonfly This series is great. I still haven‘t read the 4th book because they‘re so scary I need a very long wait between books! 3y
JenlovesJT47 @Clare-Dragonfly Hannibal is SO disturbing! The movie is so great and while Buffalo Bill is terrifying, there‘s something about Hannibal, especially in the one scene with the cops (you know the one!😳) that just freaks me out so much no matter how many times I see it. And reading it was a whole nother level of disturbing! 😱 I got 6 chapters into Hannibal last night and I‘m already hooked. I‘m excited since I‘m going into it blind. Have you ⬇️ 3y
JenlovesJT47 Watched the show? I can‘t help but picture Jodie Foster as Clarice while reading Hannibal and I‘m disappointed she‘s not in the movie. I‘ve heard the show is very good, I plan on watching it after I finish all the books. 😳 3y
Clare-Dragonfly I‘ve never seen the show or the movie but I‘ve seen a lot about the show on Tumblr 😆 3y
KaylaCReviews I watched the Silence of the Lambs movie before reading the book, too. Oddly, I liked Hannibal's character more in the book, but Christine's character more in the movie. I think Jodie Foster brought something to the role that the character in the book just didn't have, but I can't figure out what. 😅 3y

if you're someone who enjoys criminal minds, this book is like the best episode of Criminal Minds on crack that you'll ever see, and then made better because it's in writing. Being able to read the perspectives of so many other characters really filled in the story from the movie, so it was still a worthwhile experience even when having seen the film beforehand.

While a bit obviously dated and sometimes written harriedly in an attempt to communicate panic, this book is a good example of successfully building suspense and shifting perspectives. Was surprised that the book took care to emphasize that the villain was not trans, when the movie only had one offhand line.

#20in4readathon update: still plugging along in the tagged book.

I like Thomas Harris as a writer, he uses some turns of phrases I haven't encountered before. I'm struck by the rapport between these characters in the FBI. I also like Clarice Starling very much as a character. I liked her in the movie as well; Jodie Foster portrayed her well. But when reading the book, I don't necessarily see Foster.

It was fascinating to read The anniversary edition. Just to hear a little bit about how Thomas Harris got part of his inspiration for Hannibal Lecter was really interesting. I had only seen the movie prior to readIng thIs, and I got to understand quite a bit more about the charchters and their backstories as well. After back to back Hanbibal Lecter books though, I think it wise to read something else next before I go for Hannibal.

I love the character of Hannibal Lecter. He is simply one of the best bad guys in the literary world. What I didn't like was all the sexism and prejudices against trans individuals. I liked the plot and it was like a history story with all the old equipment they were using to solve the crime. In this case I don't know which is better book or the movie. Anthony Hopkins is simply perfect as Hannibal Lecter.

I enjoyed this one a lot more than Red Dragon.
The thing I enjoy most is that the FBI and police is really ignorant about the killer.
A lot of times authors seem to miss that the protagonist doesn't have to know everything about the killer.
