I whole series is wonderful, except Hannibal Rising. The Silence of the Lambs is very chilling. Hannibal Lector is a genius! ( )

Disappointing, to say the least. I heard from someone that Harris wrote this novel after the screenplay for the film, and if this is true, it makes a lot of sense. The novel adds nothing to the movie in terms of connection to characters or insights into themes; this is one of a few rare instances I recommend that one skip the novel and just watch the movie. ( )

An excellent novel. Many crime novels with serial killer characters treat the serial killer as a malevolent presence, like something in a horror novel. Harris gives readers something different - an really evil human presence. ( )

I saw the movie in 1991, but, didn't like it because of the subject matter: abnormal psych, abberant crime, criminal insanity, serial killers, homosexuality, cannibalism, jails for the criminally insane; etc., to me none of these topics seemed like a basis for entertainment.

Just recently, a copy of the book became available to me and I thought I'd try a chapter, later, I read another, then two; about this time, the book started to morph from horror into a police procedural - I was hooked. The next time I picked it up, I read the final 200 pages.

Harris is a terrific writer, so many deft touches: capturing images, little things like the puffs of blue smoke when the wheels of the FBI plane touches down, major things like when the swat team knocks on the door of the suspect as the chapter ends, the next opens with Buffalo Bill hearing a knock at his front door which he ignores, but which is followed by a knock at the back door which he answers, it's not the swat team, it's Clair. Wow!

This is a wonderfully executed book; the police procedural aspect makes it really impossible to compare with the "Shining", although people do. I don't read horror books any more, but, Stephen King's masterpiece is right up there with Poe's finest and I can't imagine anyone writing a more frightening book than that. It's in a class by itself!

Blurp: Das Buch: 'Besser kann man einen Thriller nicht schreiben.' - Clive Barker. Der Film: 'Hitchcock wäre stolz darauf.' - Los Angeles Magazine. Nur ein Mann kan dem FBI noch helfen, den geistesgestörten Frauenmörder 'Buffalo Bill' zu finden: Dr. Hannibal Lecter, der wegen einer Reihe von Verbrechen in der geschlossenen Abteilung einer psychiatrischen Klinik verwahrt wird. Die junge FBI-Agentin Clarice Starling soll ihn verhören…
Samenv.: De FBI schakelt een jonge, vrouwelijke agente in opleiding in om een psychiater die in een inrichting voor mentaal gestoorde criminelen is opgenomen, te ondervragen. Dit in verband met de motieven van een massamoordenaar die in de Verenigde Staten op afschuwelijke wijze vrouwen vermoordt. Het gelukt haar brokjes informatie te verzamelen en na vele lichamelijke en geestelijke inspanningen de moordenaar op te sporen en diens laatste slachtoffer te redden. Een bijzonder spannende, psychologische thriller met een uitstekend opgebouwd plot. De karakters zijn raak getypeerd, vooral dat van het meisje dat door de gesprekken met de psychiater zichzelf beter leert begrijpen en kennen. Een ware 'horror-story' die de liefhebbers zeker zal aanspreken.
Samenv.: Vóór het onderzoek naar een seriemoordenaar start heeft deze al enkele jonge blanke vrouwen opgepikt, gevild en voor dood achtergelaten in rivieren. Clarice Starling, studente aan de afdeling Gedragswetenschappen van de F.B.I., krijgt de opdracht uit Dr. Lecter, een ontoegankelijke maar uiterst intelligente gewezen seriemoordenaar en psychiater, informatie los te weken. Dank zij diens cryptische aanwijzingen en ondanks officiële tegenwerking, slaagt ze er pas heel laat in zich in de denkwereld van de dader in te leven. Heel knap getekende psychologische relatie tussen Dr. Lecter en Starling waardoor uiteindelijk beiden er beter van worden. Structureel zit het boek goed in elkaar: de moordenaar duikt pas op tegen de helft van het verhaal zodat de spanning gestadig naar een climax kan toegroeien. Steengoede thriller die iedere liefhebber van het genre zal aanspreken. De film naar het boek is bekroond met verschillende Oscars.

The Silence of the Lambs (novel)

Will Graham

Descrição do livro

Amazon.com (ISBN 0312924585, Mass Market Paperback)

The Silence of the Lambs, by Thomas Harris, is even better than the successful movie. Like his earlier Red Dragon, the book takes us inside the world of professional criminal investigation. All the elements of a well-executed thriller are working here--driving suspense, compelling characters, inside information, publicity-hungry bureaucrats thwarting the search, and the clock ticking relentlessly down toward the death of another young woman. What enriches this well-told tale is the opportunity to live inside the minds of both the crime fighters and the criminals as each struggles in a prison of pain and seeks, sometimes violently, relief.

Clarice Starling, a precociously self-disciplined FBI trainee, is dispatched by her boss, Section Chief Jack Crawford, the FBI's most successful tracker of serial killers, to see whether she can learn anything useful from Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Lecter's a gifted psychopath whose nickname is "The Cannibal" because he likes to eat parts of his victims. Isolated by his crimes from all physical contact with the human race, he plays an enigmatic game of "Clue" with Starling, providing her with snippets of data that, if she is smart enough, will lead her to the criminal. Undaunted, she goes where the data takes her. As the tension mounts and the bureaucracy thwarts Starling at every turn, Crawford tells her, "Keep the information and freeze the feelings." Insulted, betrayed, and humiliated, Starling struggles to focus. If she can understand Lecter's final, ambiguous scrawl, she can find the killer. But can she figure it out in time? --Barbara Schlieper
