The Silence of the Lambs (Hannibal Lecter, #2)
by
Wow! I loved this just as much as the first. I did miss Will though, as I thought I would. But Clarice is awesome too. I wont mention much. If possible, go in without knowing too much. There is a serial killer. Can Dr. Hannibal Lecter help them find him? Actually, will he? He can, but most likely wont. It's all a way for him to entertain himself. He certainly doesn't care about the victims, young women being killed and skinned then dumped in rivers. He seems willing to talk a little with Clarice Starling. It goes from there. Excellent and utterly absorbing.
I am finding these books absolutely gripping to read, and am going straight on to the next one. They are holding my attention completely, and I'm flying through them! This next one is a lot longer, and seems to be less popular, but I'm eager to find out my own opinion on it.

Great review Kerri! I loved this book too. It's however hard to go in it without knowing too much, since the movies are so good and so well known, and practically everyone has seen them.

I agree, almost impossible to go in without knowing something. Great if possible, but unlikely!
Another fine review Kerri. Will must be a very good character to read, since I know Clarice was, at least in the movie. It'll be interesting to see when I get there.

I enjoyed the movie, but then what is not to like about Anthony Hopkins? I hope to read this some day.
