Red Dragon (Abridged) Audiobook

" Loved it, Wish the movie had some of the stuff in the book..the cut some stuff out.. "

" Wow! Wanna be scared to death? Then you'd better read 'Red Dragon'. This was the first in the Hannibal Lecter series and I wasn't disappointed. A gripping, scary and frightening novel!! This would be a great book to be reading out in the woods, by flashlight in a tent!! "

" I read these three harris books (red dragon, silence of the lambs, hannibal) in order and enjoyed them all. Good, solid mysteries with interesting characters. Also a very good movie. "

" Maybe I am secretly a horror novel. It is a bit grisley but I totally got into this book. I thought I had figured it all out and the author threw me for a loop. Looking back I realized I let the author lead me to my conclusions knowingly and then picked me up, threw everything around, shook it up some more and then I was left dazed but realizing that was the plan all along. "

" If you liked the movie and thought you would read the book for some added content, Don't bother movie book the same. "

" Probably my least favorite of the three books in the trilogy but still really entertaining in and of itself. "

" I read this book twice. It originally was published as "The Red Dragon" and then about ten years later it was re-published as "Manhunter". I enjoyed both times I read the book. I've read all of Thomas Harris' Dr. Lecture books. "

" Best crime novel ever. Unbelievably creepy. "

" The characters were especially vibrant, but the story unraveled a little at the end. But, it's an enjoyable quick read. "

" It was interesting, slightly weird and worth the read but not exactly life changing. "

" Along with Silence of the Lambs, this book is Thomas Harris at his best. Don't read it in the house alone! "

" Read this before Manhunter movie came out. SO I had a heads up. Neither movie does book justice "

" Absolute Classics. The studies of worst features of human nature. "

" A very well-written and horrifyingly scary novel. "

" not much of a psychological thriller or much else. memorable moment was a concise and accurate description of gas chromatography. "

" Unexpected end. Silence of the lambs next! "

" Not as good as Silence of the Lambs, but still chilling. "

" Definintely on part with Silence of the Lambs, if not somewhat better. I enjoyed how much Thomas Harris got into the mind of the killer, which he has to sacrifice somewhat in Silence of the Lambs in order to get more into the portrait of Hannibal Lecter. "

" My favorite in the Lechter series. Classic serial killer, demented but brilliant. "

" Loved the mystery, investigation and insight into a warped mind. "

" I love this series even though I am not a fan of the horror genre. "

" One of the best i have read. "

" book was totally different from the movie but still totally twisted. "

" I have read all the Hannibal novels and found them good. It is a creepy kind of book and one that I would not read numerous times. I liked this one the best of the three. "

" I enjoyed the bood. I found it to be the scariest of the Lecter series. "

" I read this before the movie came out so it was probably more of a gem to me. It fills in the gaps the movie failed to address about the motivations of the killer(i.e. his horrible childhood, evil grandmother, etc). "

" i thought this book was really good, i especially enjoyed the movie (2001) it followed the book precisely, rather than Manhunter which sucked "

" This was one of the few books i literally couldn't put down. I think this is the perfect example of what a thriller should be. "

" Maybe even better than Silence of the Lambs, just maybe... "

" The best Thomas Harris book, IMHO. "

" Thomas Harris, by far, is my favorite author. This is where he introduced Hannibal. OMG, this book was so damn good and I couldn't put it down. I believe I read this in 2 days. The movie was good too, but the book is always better! "

" Better than Hannibal, not as good as Silence of the Lambs. "

" "Red Dragon" is a great crime thriller. Well-written, superbly plotted, a true page-turner. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to reading "The Silence of the Lambs." "

" Intro to Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs). A serial killer story with a lot of psychological writing and forensic investigations. I don't care that much for this type of book. It did end with a surprise though. "

" Found this book very suspenseful.Lector is a great ! "

" This book scared the hell out of me..It is just downright creepy, yet so good that I made it a point to finish it...Loved Silence of the Lambs too... "

" A long time ago, I had a good friend working on a degree in criminology, with a professor that recommended this book as a novelized look into the mind a form of a serial killer. This book truly was the 'one' that opened the door of Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, etc. "

" Read this book sometime back, after reading Silence of the Lambs. "

" I liked this book. It was dark and different than I expected, but I had a hard time putting it down. There were some slow spots, but on the whole, it was a very good book. "

" Interesting twisted tail. Anything Hannibal just tends to spark my interest. "
