Book Reviews of Hannibal Rising
Book Review: "If he remembers too soon he will freeze inside forever"
Summary: 2 Stars
When this book came out, I was really happy. A new novel about Dr. Lecter; just when it seemed that the story had ended. Rewarding the readers of the series with a prequel that would allow them to understand why this character behaved like he did was the perfect final touch. It is such a shame that this novel falls short in so many levels!
First of all, this is the first time that I have been bored by Harris' writing. There are a few passages that show glimmers of the writing genius present in the other novels, but most of it is unremarkably bland. But the fact that the author presents us with an avenger of evil deeds by others against Hannibal and his sister is even a bigger fault. This aspect basically negates the premise of the book, since this does not really explain the behavior we have seen from Dr. Lecter in the other works. I believe there is not much that is new in this book as it relates to Lecter's psyche, and the aspects of the story that we did not know beforehand, are not enough to keep our interest.
I never thought that I would find myself rating a book by this author so poorly, but he did not accomplish what he set out to do and the process of reading the novel was not even entertaining. That is why I have to recommend to everyone to stay away from this poor novel.
