so-so⭐️⭐️ 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.
pan⭐️⭐️ This is no where near the level of Red Dragon nor Silence of the Lambs. Shockingly boring and waaay too long. Felt very forced, and a blatant attempt to capitalize on the success of the Lambs film.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After recently reading Mindhunter, I had to finally try this fictionalization of famous FBI profiler John Douglas. Book one in the Hannibal series, this follows the Tooth Fairy / Red Dragon murders. Imprisoned Dr. Lecter helps detectives catch the serial killer. Sort of. Backstory and development are disturbingly excellent. Lecter is an incredible side character. So creepy.

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.

pickFinally got myself into the Hannibal series. I enjoyed this book a lot. The characters were interesting enough and I just found myself enjoying the story so much. Highly recommend if you like True Crime and Hannibal. Also as a side note. If you read Hannibal‘s lines, read it in Mads Mikkelsen‘s voice. 10x better to read it with his accent.
