Book Reviews of Hannibal Rising
Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Harris here fails to deliver on the dense plotting and narrative thrust of his previous books. Even "Hannibal," while a bit farfetched, still demonstrated his craft. This one feels like it was written by his intern. And let's be honest: As an origin story, it's wholly inadequate. Lecter's mental pathology cannot be explained by trauma early in life. The character established in "Red Dragon" and "Silence" is a mostly evil psychopath, not a sympathetic avenging angel.
