Many mentions of graphic childhood abuse. Graphic depictions of gore and torture. A fair amount of racism and homophobia.thechocolatefinger's review against another edition

it focusses on actual Francis not Hannibal so don’t expect stuff about Hannibal even though they put his name all on the front cover he’s just a minor character.

There are bits in this that genuinely made me squirm, it was rough to read and the constant intense threat of Francis Dolarhyde attacking again really makes you want the book to end.
The final twist in the book did feel a little rushed in my opinion, and I would have in a rare moment preferred this book to be a little longer to give the final standoff just a bit more space and time to develop.

Personalmente, ho trovato l'inizio e la prima parte dello sviluppo della storia, fino a pagina 120 circa, lento e non particolarmente coinvolgente, a tal punto da aver difficoltà a voler proseguire con la lettura. Poi, è arrivata la parte centrale del libro, che mi ha completamente stregata e mi ha tenuta incollata alle pagine, e questo momento è durato quasi fine alla conclusione dell'opera.
Purtroppo, però, gli ultimi due capitoli del romanzo hanno inficiato sul mio apprezzamento del finale, che sarebbe invece stato perfetto senza quest'ultimi.
In aggiunta, ma questo è dovuto al fatto che mi sono approcciata a questa lettura senza conoscerne in maniera approfondita la trama, mi sarei aspettata nell'opera una presenza maggiore di Hannibal Lecter, ma la cosa non ha influito sul giudizio dell'opera.
