| | Amazon.com: Hannibal: Books: Thomas Harris (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Hannibal, we learnA"we" because Harris seduces reader complicity with third-person-plural narrationAis not as we presumed. |
 | | Hannibal may be mad, but in this brilliant, bizarre, absurd novelAas in the public eyeAhe is also hero; and so, at novel's end, in flest humor, Harris bestows upon him a hero's rewards, outrageously, mockingly. |
 | | The plot is ludicrous and absurd, the writing is sloppy and demented (why the heck does Harris change tenses with every freakin' paragraph?), new characters are bizarre and unpleasant, there is far too much gore, and worst of all, old characters from SOTL are transformed into flat caricatures of their previous selves. |
