Hannibal

A Novel

De: Thomas Harris

Narrado por: Daniel Gerroll

Invite Hannibal Lecter into the palace of your mind and be invited into his mind palace in turn. Note the similarities in yours and his, the high vaulted chambers of your dreams, the shadowed halls, the locked storerooms where you dare not go, the scrap of half-forgotten music, the muffled cries from behind a wall.

In one of the most eagerly anticipated literary events of the decade, Thomas Harris takes us once again into the mind of a killer, crafting a chilling portrait of insidiously evolving evil - a tour de force of psychological suspense. Seven years have passed since Dr. Hannibal Lecter escaped from custody, seven years since FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling interviewed him in a maximum security hospital for the criminally insane. The doctor is still at large, pursuing his own ineffable interests, savoring the scents, the essences of an unguarded world. But Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr. Lecter, and the metallic rasp of his seldom-used voice still sounds in her dreams. Mason Verger remembers Dr. Lecter, too, and is obsessed with revenge. He was Dr. Lecter's sixth victim, and he has survived to rule his own butcher's empire. From his respirator, Verger monitors every twitch in his worldwide web. Soon he sees that to draw the doctor, he must have the most exquisite and innocent-appearing bait; he must have what Dr. Lecter likes best. Powerful, hypnotic, utterly original, Hannibal is a dazzling feast for the imagination. Prepare to travel to hell and beyond as a master storyteller permanently alters the world you thought you knew.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Strap yourself in for one heck of a ride - it'll scare your socks off." ( Denver Post)

"Relentless - endlessly terrifying." ( Los Angeles Times)

"Interested in getting the hell scared out of you? Buy this book on a Friday...lock all doors and windows. And by Monday, you might just be able to sleep without a night-light." ( Newsday)

Highly Entertaining!

As I write this in December 2016, I find that some of the older reviews are unfair. This unabridged recording is the complete book. Nothing is lacking. Also the narrator is totally understandable throughout. I suspect previous listeners were listening at accelerated speeds, and the distinct voice of lipless Mason Verger would then be difficult, but not at all impossible, to understand. Have no fear purchasing this book. It is great!

Wow!

What else can I say? Wow, what a tale!

Harris weaves a masterful story that is altogether gripping, intense and suspenseful.

I couldn't stop listening to this -- or any of his other works, for that matter.

I didn't enjoy the narrator until we reached Hannibal's exploits. I found his take on Starling's accent to be more South African than Southern. But as the tale unfolded, he managed his accent better.

As always, Hollywood tends to fall flat when bringing books to life. I was pleasantly surprised by where Hannibal took his Starling.

Interesting

I truly enjoyed The Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs however, I felt like the end of Hannibal was a little far fetched.

Interesting

This is a fun listen. However, More darkly aroused and tinged with a Hollywood movie feel rather than Harris’ previous books in this series. I loved this ending, as it differs from the movie very much so.

Hannibal

Thomas Harris has one of those weird imaginations that takes you in multiple different directions. It was impossible to figure out what direction this book was going to go, or to figure out the ending. Talk about a strange plot twist! Although it was not as good as Silence of the Lambs, it was still a masterpiece.

great read!!!

The narration was wonderful, a wonderful ending to the story of Dr. Lecter. I am a huge fan of the movies, but after reading the books, I wish they had stayed with the story from the books.

Loved it

I love all of the Hannibal novels. They were written well.if there were more I would deffently read.

A great ending to the series.

Hannibal is as dark and enlightening as the other two books in the series. It really takes you into his mind, which successfully plays sympathy for the devil. It left me with satisfaction that a lot of the characters got what they deserved.

Mason Verger

It was difficult to follow the Mason Verger parts. Especially around chapters 45-46. It should have been done better/more understandable.

excellent

A great book well read. Can't ask for much more. some more words to make the required 15
