The Silence of the Lambs (Abridged) Audiobook

" Loved it. Makes the movie look plain at points, and viceversa. I have mixed feelings, but love both. "

" One of the best series I've ever read... "

" Although I read this book (twice) years ago and have seen the movie many times, the character of serial killer Hannibal Lecter still makes my blood run cold. "

" Another that goes on the list of the book is soooo much better than the movie, as will all of the books that go along with this one. I love the freaky, insane genious of Dr. Lector and I really believe that he had as true feelings as much as a person like him is able for Clarice. "

" This book is now really famous but I read it before the films and the hype...still a good book...but not as great as some might feel it is. "

" Gruesome? Yes, but VERY well-written. Edge-of-your-seat story, and just as much of a psychological thriller as anything else. Loved the movie AND the book - that's rare for me! "

" It scared me when I read it. One of the better books by Thomas Harris. "

" The book scared the crap out of me. The movie reminded me of how scary the book was. "

" This is an incredibly disturbing book, but the series is great. This book was compelling and really difficult to put down! "

" This was very twisted. Interesting psychology. "

" i was slightly disappointed with this book. I have seen and liked the movie and im of that perception that most books are better than the film. therefore i naturally thought this would be even better in print. it wasn't a bad book though and im still planing to read the other books in the series "

" this book has kept me awake till the wee hours of the morning..I couldn't sleep before completing the book. "

" For all the thriller writers out there, this is the bible. Read it, study it; for without a doubt, it is the perfect thriller. And it's a damn great read too! "

" I had a nice review, but GR ate it. Can we please get a fucking auto-save? That would be hella nice. "

" at first it was a slow start and took awhile for something to happen, but once it did it really picked up and was a very good read. "

" Overall a very good and interesting read. And the flow is much better than that of Red Dragon. The only thing that stops Silence of the Lambs from being fantastic is the annoying qualities of a few of the secondary characters (Senator Martin in particular). "

" As always different from the book. So much around to add a realistic texture. "

" Do like. Need to buy the others now! "

" Not bad. Clearly the author did a lot of research; there was solid writing and wonderful characters. Dr. Lecter was a treat. But still, basically a thriller. One of the better ones, but not great literature. "

" This is so chillingly well done that you can't stand to keep reading but you can't stop. Don't take this on vacation with you if you're going someplace you don't know well, because it will freak you out so bad you'll only want to sit in your room the whole trip. "

" It scared me when I read it. One of the better books by Thomas Harris. "

" All I remember about this book, aside from liking it, is that it was so gross that when the movie came out I refused to see it - and I still haven't. Reading it was enough - seeing it would be too much! :-S "

" Scary and breathtaking at the same time! "

" Not bad. Just like the movie. "

" Book flows with even pace and covers some wide angles - lots of people which made it hard to keep track of. I was unable to predict the twists and turns - we ended up with an anti-climax which was sharp and a quick way to end the book on a good footing. "

" Well-written and truly scary. One of the best modern horror books around. That is is also a good mystery doesn’t hurt. "

" Loved this book as well.Lector continues to be a great anti hero! "

" Really quite good. The book successfully fills in the plot holes that were left gaping in the movie, and yeah I know I should be comparing them the other way around. I'm already sick of the characters, though, so I don't think I'll be reading the various pre- and sequel novels. "
