Amazon.co.uk Review
The Hannibal Lecter Omnibus does exactly what it says on the tin--collects together the three classic thrillers by Thomas Harris' featuring the world's most distinguished serial killer Hannibal Lecter. The good doctor settles for a supporting role in the first book Red Dragon, assisting an FBI agent in tracking down a notorious murderer but his impact is still just as chilling. In The Silence of the Lambs, Lecter is enlisted by rookie FBI agent Clarice Starling to help her profile and track another dangerous killer. What starts out as a routine interview develops into an unnatural obsession between both Lecter and Starling--the book is as much about Starling's own mission as it is about the twisted fascination she holds for him, which in turn fuels his interest in her. Clarice and Starling are reunited again in Hannibal as the doctor, now living, but still killing, in Vienna, is hunted down by one of his surviving and horribly scarred victims. The limits of Starling and Lecter's relationship reach horrific and sickening levels in the much-debated climax. A bulky, but worthwhile collection showcasing the most imaginative image of evil personified in modern fiction. --Jonathan Weir

rotten
appalling story

was the biggest waste of time i have ever.. well wasted

do not buy!!!

Has Jonathan Weir even read Hannibal before writing the review?
The Hannibal Lecter trilogy makes an amazing read. It is markedly different from any other so-called spine-chilling page turners. This may be due to the artistic elegance of the book, cultural references, aesthetization of evil, and the controversial figure of Hannibal Lecter. The first part of Hannibal is set in Florence and a whole range of cultural references, places, spaces (Duomo, view from the Belvedere - you know Florence? Dr Lecter asked Clarice in the asylum 10 years ago) are closely linked to Italy and FLORENCE, AND NOT VIENNA. So how can Jonathan Weir in Amazon.co.uk review be so grossly inaccurate by saying that "...in Hannibal as the doctor, now living, but still killing, in Vienna..." (sic)??? How can you miss on the whole Florence/Palazzo Cappone/studiolo/Dante world that are central to understanding many of the events described in the book?? Because the reviewer did not bother to read it in the first place!!!

I WANT LIVER AND FAVA BEANS WITH A NICE BOTTLE OF CARLING
An assential buy people. Buy this bumper book of Gems and you will never regret it. Dont dismiss MR. lecter because you have seen the movies, otherwise your missing out on the brilliance of MR.Harris's creation. The only problem being is that you cant read any Hannibal book without Anthony Hopkins and jodie foster. Oh well..
