SteveCrisis Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Just released this week and currently half-price in Waterstones.I started reading this last night and I'm hooked.It's been 7 years since Hannibal and 25 years since he made his first appearance in Red Dragon and Thomas Harris has done it again.My only critique is that it's a fairly short novel and because it's so gripping I fear I'm going to finish it in no time at all.The way Lecter kills his first victim at the age of 13 in reprisal for a racial and sexual slur against his Japanese aunt is beautifully written.If you liked Lecter the man, you'll love Lecter the boy, teenager, and young adult.

Rachie Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I bought it for my mum for christmas, I managed to limit myself to just reading the first chapter before I wrapped it: which I had to force myself to do very quickly before I changed my mind and read it all!I'll get a loan of it from my mum once she's done. Good opener though, look forward to reading the whole thing. I do love Thomas Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
