Why I recommend this — 2 years ago
Although the movie has been widely seen, I don’t know many people who’ve actually read the book. It’s a favorite of mine. The writing style itself is eloquent yet not exaggerated. The momentum of the story carries you along, chapter to chapter, and when you’re not reading it, you’re thinking about it.
For those who’ve only seen the movie… read the book. There is so much material that was left out of the hour and a half version, especially when it comes to the ending.
The strangest, and probably most alluring, part of this book is that although the movie made Hannibal into a monster (albeit a charming one), you may actually come to like him in the book.
