Book Reviews of Hannibal
Book Review: A sad book
Summary: 3 Stars
This book was not really about serial killers and horror, it was about two severly damaged individuals, Starling and Lecter, who seek comfort, soul searching and some mental healing through each other. It's really a psycho-analytical book where the reader along with the main characters discover and open the doors of supressed painful childhood memories that have formed their adult minds. This book was lauded and praised as "extremely scary", but I just felt horribly sad for Lecter. Not one page scared me. The god-awful thing that happened to his little sister just made me cry. For those who've read the literature on how serial killers are "made' this kind of childhood trauma is not surprising, yet so horribly sad, and often starts the mental process of control, revenge and "cold bloodedness" that is the hallmark of these killers. Of note is that Lecter kills only in revenge or those that he thinks should die. Mason tortured small children so he was killed. Lecter is trying to revenge the real monsters that killed and ate his little sister. It's well written, but nothing amazing.
