sally, make your own opinions of the book. you might like it
You most likely watched the movie first
I would have to respectfully disagree, I watched the movie first and found the plot of the book to be just as thrilling. It also adds in details the movie could not fit into the script that are very insightful.
Never watch the film before reading the book!!!
It's different.... I prefered the film too. But the book gives details which are not in the film.
Would have to strongly disagree, the book was much more detailed and enjoyable to read. While Anthony Hopkins was a perfect Hannibal Lecter, the movie I felt was rushed and sloppy compared to the book.
Love how this is considered a “review.” Would love to know more.
2 stars because it was worse than the movie ? 190 likes ? Wut. The book is minimum 4 stars. It's the same level as the movie but even better because it has more scenes and information that doesn't include in the movie. By your opinion every movie that is better than a book then the book deserves 2 stars?
The Silence of the Lambs movie is much better than the book. The book is just ok. Other superior movies include Jaws, The Godfather, Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner, LA Confidential, Psycho, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, and Planet of the Apes.
The movie was great not denying it but I just love the little details that I can get from the book. It's like we can stay in the story longer. But this is an exception for me and I love the movie as much as I love the book.
this book was mediocre at best but people just don't want to admit it
What an insightful review
I was looking for the answer to whether it's better than the movie or not. Thank you!
There is not a lot of difference between the two, but the book has the edge as there are more details. Also, you learn more about the characters, like Jack Crawford and some backstory to Jame Gumb.
i also disagree - having put off the film until reading the book
I completely disagree with you and I would really love to know how you’ve come to this conclusion?
disagree! i can’t even remember the movie when i watched it that much but the book?! hell, yeah. so many more details, backstories etc. it’s sm better than the movie in my opinion. i wonder tho, what made u think movie was better? maybe Anthony Hopkins? cause he played his role the best, yet you can’t say movie is better….
That's quite the review. What about the narrative did you not like? When writing reviews, one cannot simply say: "A great read!" Or "That sucked!" One needs to detail Why a book receives the rating.
Did you even read it?
evidentemente no lo leíste.
Book is waaay better. BUT, the movie cast and crew did a great job adapting to film. I really wish they changed Anthony Hopkins eye color, but I can understand why they didn’t.
This "review" makes zero sense. The book is extremely detailed and explains how real- life forensics works, while the movie is a cheap thriller. How much of the book did you read?
