Disclosure: I purchased this book with my own money. I have no connection with this book’s publisher or author in any way. No compensation was received for this review.
No, not the movie. I read the book if you want to know. It was a very refreshing story. For once, you can actually come to understand what made Hannibal Lecter the way he is. You get to crawl inside the past, and see what brought Lecter to his twisted mind.
There are moments of sadness, moments of joy in Hannibal Rising. There is also that feeling of completion when you reach the end. You know that the story is finished. There is no need to bring about yet another sequel, the story is properly ended. Wonderful story, well written.
I give this 5 out of 5 stars. This is a definite must read.
