The book series spawned multiple different adaptations in the form of movies and TV shows. Hannibal Lecter, a cannibalistic and Wicked Cultured Serial Killer. It certainly is.A series of horror-crime novels written by Thomas Harris, which are centered around the exploits of Dr. “‘So the FBI is going to the girls like everything else, ha, ha.’ He added the tobacco smile he uses to separate his sentences. “Starling knew without thinking about it that the shine on his extended hand was lanolin from patting his hair. “‘We’ve had a lot of detectives here, but I can’t remember one so attractive,’ Chilton said without getting up. The dynamic between Clarice and Hannibal Lecter crackles from the page, and the creepiness of Dr. Her swearing is infrequent but human, and I think I liked her even more for that. But I did like that, in the book, Clarice has a bit of a mouth on her. There’s only so much time in a film, and Jodie Foster’s performance is the stuff of celluloid legend. In the film, Clarice is a bit of a goody-two-shoes. The fact that the dialogue matched precisely the forced chuckles and thinly veiled nervousness of Jodie Foster’s character in the film pleased me enormously. There’s a scene where Clarice is about to enter the abandoned storage container with the door stuck about a foot from the ground and she asks the lawyer to call the field office if she should get stuck. Anyway, in the book, as in the film, my heart dropped like a rock when Catherine offered to help the stranger with the sling get the armchair into his van.Ĭlarice is an amazing character. To the point that whenever I see Brooke Smith (who played Catherine Martin in the 1990 film) in anything, I affect an accent and ask, ‘Was she a great big fat person?’ I knew this story fairly intimately before I picked up the book, as I must have watched the film a few dozen times. Lecter’s clues and find Buffalo Bill? Or will Catherine Martin face the same appalling fate as those who came before her? But will Clarice be able to move beyond her own childhood trauma to sift through Dr. Lecter, the case takes on a new sense of urgency when a senator’s daughter goes missing. With FBI trainee, Clarice Starling, brought in to talk to the infinitely knowledgeable but terrifying Dr. A serial killer, dubbed Buffalo Bill, has been killing and skinning large women, and dumping their bodies in waterways across the country, in no particular pattern, leaving a chrysalis of the Death’s Head moth in their throats. The clever plots, fierce characters and grisly murders continue in this, the second Hannibal Lecter book. Book Review – The Silence of the Lambs (Hannibal Lecter #2) by Thomas Harris
