You remember Hannibal Lecter: gentleman, genius, cannibal. Seven years have passed since Dr. Lecter escaped from custody. And for seven years he's been at large, free to savor the scents, the essences, of an unguarded world. But intruders have entered Dr. Lecter's world, piercing his new identity, sensing the evil that surrounds him. For the multimillionaire Hannibal left maimed, for a corrupt Italian policeman, and for FBI agent Clarice Starling, who once stood before Lecter and who has never been the same, the final hunt for Hannibal Lecter has begun. All of them, in their separate ways, want to find Dr. Lecter. And all three will get their wish. But only one will live long enough to savor the reward--.

I really enjoyed this book (if thats the right word to use!) BUT I have to say that I think the movie was better. I really didnt like the way Mason Verger's sister tret him and also I didnt find the ending believable enough. It was a real page turner, and I had a hard time putting it down, but I didn't get along with some of the characters as well as I did when they were on screen!

Out of the Hannibal Lecter Trilogy, I have to say that The Silence Of the Lambs is my favourite!
