pickThe 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 ⬇️ 4y
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 4y
Bklover I remember LOVING this book, and I read it before the movie. May be time for a reread! 4y

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! 🤗❤️ 4y
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! 4y
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 ⬇️ 4y
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. 😳 4y
Clare-Dragonfly I‘ve never seen the show or the movie but I‘ve seen a lot about the show on Tumblr 😆 4y
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. 😅 4y
