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 world-wide 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.

Quote-leftThe build up of the book is a real page turner...and the ending is very good at the same time very disturbing. Cutos Thomas Harris, Cutos
PS DO NOT WATCH THE MOVIE!!! Movie doesnt follow the book whatsoever...the movie butchers the book. (Got thrown out of the movie theater for yelling at the movie screen because of the injustice it did to the book.lol)Quote-right

Quote-leftGreat, even though I knew the ending, it threw me off when I actually read it. I loved the whole book, it really brought up the question "Who was the REAL monster?'Quote-right

Quote-leftMy favourite T.H book, slightly longer than Red Dragon and Sotl but much, much better in my opinion. It's more subtle, darker and just generally more interesting to read.Quote-right

Quote-leftRemarkable. This was a twisted tale that truely blurred the lines of fiction and reality. At times, it felt as if Harris were writing a news article, but that just made it all the more chilling. Hannibal Lector is a character for the ages who will leave your blood running cold.Quote-right

Quote-leftThis was one of my favorite books. I read it in one weekend with the lights on and doors locked. So scary. The movie stunk, I couldn't wait to see it, and it was so lame.Quote-right

Quote-leftThe first book to actually take my breath away. Hannibal is disgusting and disturbing, quite repugnant in fact; not for the faint-hearted. Yet somehow it manages to be a quite beautiful book, as if it took every second of the years since "Silence of the Lambs" came out to make it just perfect, and it almost is. Never has evil been so elegant.Quote-right

Quote-leftI was disappointed with the movie...as usual, books can provide such a deeper glimpse than a movie can..... I am re read the book after seeing the movie, just to remind myself how good it was!Quote-right

Quote-leftThis is a must-read for fans of The Silence of the Lambs (book or movie). It is better than the movie with a MUCH better ending!Quote-right

Plum Spooky

by Janet Evanovich

Turn on all the lights and check under your bed. Things are about to get spooky in Trenton, New Jersey. According to legend, the Jersey Devil prowls the Pine Barrens and soars above the treetops in the dark of night. As eerie as this might seem, there are things in the Barrens that are even more frightening and dangerous. And there are monkeys. Lots of monkeys. more
