Jim's Review
🐛
Hannibal Lecter is the most terrifying character Jim has ever encountered on a page — and he's barely in the book. Harris does more with a few scenes of polite conversation than most authors do with entire chapters of violence. Clarice Starling is a phenomenal protagonist, and their intellectual sparring had this worm reading with bated breath. The basement scene? Jim almost tunneled right out of the room. Flawless thriller.
