A review by its_kievan
The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris

dark emotional mysterious reflective tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

An unexpectedly thoughtful, maybe even beautiful book. The movie is great, but even at its best it never quite captures the sort of sad, shabby atmosphere that Harris has created here.
