The following post is taken directly from one of my hand-printed Reader's Journals. I will be sharing these reflections each week on the Rivera Runs Through It blog. The date at the end of each post is the date of the original writing, which is typically the date I completed the book. The reflections are short, but represent my initial reactions to a book, a brief summary of the book or the questions it raised for me at the time. I hope you enjoy this segment in my blog and feel free to comment on what you read here.
Hannibal by Thomas Harris
A strange book from the start... Although it is titled "Hannibal," the character Hannibal does not appear, in the flesh, until the halfway mark of the book. As a sequel to The Silence of the Lambs
- the change in Clarice Starling's character is quite odd. To seal my feelings of confusion the ending of the novel is as strange and anti-climatic as I was warned. Some have said the film will be better - having read the plot, I have my doubts.Have you read either the Silence of the Lambs or Hannibal?
What were your impressions?
