I don&#8217;t actually care what anyone else has to say about that &#8212; it fits, and it leaves a largish gap where yet another book [or two] could fit.  I wouldn&#8217;t exactly be upset if there were another book or two, because I actually enjoy reading about Lecter.  Movies&#8230;I can mostly do without those, because there&#8217;s a lot of room for movie-makers to fuck up royally.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve never read any of Harris&#8217; books, I wouldn&#8217;t recommend starting with this one.  Go back to <i>Red Dragon<\/i> and read that first, then <i>The Silence of the Lambs<\/i> and <i>Hannibal<\/i>.  It may seem out of order, but I think that knowing the end of the story [as it stands right now] is important before you read the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking about it, I might go back and read the books again.  I haven&#8217;t ever read them all in a row, and it&#8217;s been a while since I spent some quality time with Lecter&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon Prime is nifty.
