not to hussiepost in the year of our lord 2024, but his sense of humour is unreal.  like i'm constantly in awe of his wordplay and pacing and his capacity for silliness.  i love it.

so......... yeah i get it.  held me tight for the first 75% or so, but the closing scenes sort of lost me a little.  i enjoyed hannibal coming apart at the seams, but that was resolved SO easily???  like what the hell was the point of building that up so much for clarice to just wellactually him out of it.  anyway!  gothic-y and indulgent.

really, really, really excellent.   i loved every part of this.  i'm absolutely going to be watching the HBO series in the wake of reading this incredible account of a tragedy whose magnitude is almost impossible to understand
