    Story
    "Abridged and ruined"

    I am happy that I already knew this story from book and movie before I heard this audiobook, because it has been abridged so much that it makes no sense, the story simply does not work! Also I have to admit that Thomas Harris does not do a good job of narrating hos own book, as he uses an objective almost cold voice through out. I think it's time for a re-issue of this classic story and in the meantime I strongly advice anybody not familiar with the story to read the book and/or whatch the movie.

    Story
    "Not what I expected"
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    Yes. It was alright for a casual read


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    Bit of anticlimax


    What about Thomas Harris’s performance did you like?

    Good reading


    Do you think The Silence of the Lambs needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    Not sure.


    Any additional comments?

    This was advertised in other places as being one of the best books ever written, and I had been warned not to read it alone and at night, but none of it was a terrifying as advertised.
