I read this after watching the NBC Hannibal series, and was told I would be disappointed, but I really am not. Actually, if you ignore the homosexuality, then the show has stayed surprisingly true to the book. Especially Crawford—my God—he was so annoyingly naïve, it was beautiful.
I think the antagonist was good, and the author also killed off the character I wanted him to?? Amazing.
However, sometimes the dialogue is so absurd that I find it inappropriate? Like, the amount of humour in a book with such a serious theme, I dunno.
I liked this book. :) I want to read the following books as well.

Also, I think I have homosexual feelings for Dr. Bloom.
