Reading the Hannibal Lecter Series

If you have stumbled across this with genuine interest, then may God bless your poor misguided soul. However that is only if you believe in God, unlike a certain someone...

After reading the four books comprising Thomas Harris’ series, and watching the NBC TV Show Hannibal, I believe I posses the necessary qualifications to give some relevant advice on how to approach the vast amount of content on Lecter:

1. Read the books and then watch the TV show/movies. The reason is that the books give significantly more context and insight into, specifically, Lecter’s character and allow for a more nuanced and exquisite understanding of the cinematographic works.

2. Read the books in order of publication: Red Dragon (1981), Silence Of The Lambs (1988), Hannibal (1991), and Hannibal Rising (2006). The reason is that this order gives progressive insight into Lecter’s character, and allows the reader to unveil his mystery himself, rather than being handed the entire backstory first (Hannibal Rising). Plus, Red Dragon serves as a fantastic hook into the series, and gives you freedom to decide whether you want to delve deeper, as the ending is relatively complete, and if you decide to drop it, there will be less guilt.

3. Do not read Hannibal, at least not past the end of “II Florence”. If you don’t want to feel disappointed, in relation to character development, and have trouble putting down books, stop at Silence Of The Lambs. If you want maximum personality development, pertaining to Lecter, stop at the end of the second part of Hannibal, “Florence”. Finally, if you want to decide for yourself, whether to be disappointed or not, feel free to read the entire book, but be warned (from my subjective point of view, of course).

I personally found that it is best to follow this pattern, however do not be strayed from your path by my opinion. Do what you feel is necessary, and most importantly, enjoy.

Please tell me that's all the hannibal books. I know it's called "Hannibal Rising" and I've been told that this was written out of force rather than desire to carry on Lecter's story, which I did keep that in mind when I opened this book. But oh boy. Hannibal Rising, though it focuses on the Lecter name, it doesn't feel like a Hannibal book. It feels quite messy and confusing at times. Sometimes knowing someone's past isn't all that it's cracked up to be. I like the "adult" Hannibal more than this. It felt like it was rewriting Hannibal rather than reminiscing on the cannibal. I even felt like Misha's story line felt pushed in whereas talking about her in Hannibal's previous ws him reflecting on how Clarice related to his sister. This should've been fascinating and a curious piece on the cannibal that everyone can't get enough off but it's really more of an illusion of what we should be thinking instead of what we already know. #hannibal #hannibalrising https://www.instagram.com/p/CMeH6GeHGAy/?igshid=elesgyh6tvvm

Here’s, a picture of Author Thomas Harris cuddling a possum. Harris is the creator of one of the most terrifying, psychopathic and chilling characters in literary history. Hannibal Lecter! Not much is known about this world famous horror writer. But he is a huge animal lover and spends a lot of his time volunteering at an animal sanctuary near his home. #thomasharris #author #horror #horrorwriter #possum #hanniballecter #hannibal #hannibalthecannibal #thesilenceofthelambs #hannibalrising #carimora #authorlife #writer #writerlife #horrornovel #cannibal #crimethriller #crimethrillerbooks #book #booknerd #bookwriter #horrorfan #thomasharrisbooks #possumlove #animallover #storyteller #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #novelwriting (at Bristol, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6ztCJjKVd/?igshid=1wxrzpqt2qflb

One of the writers took inspiration from Hannibal and I want to take a second to let them know that I truly appreciate these references.

Quote 16 #hannibalrising Inspector Popil explaining to his assistant what he believes happened to a boy named Hannibal. Hannibal's ordeal changed him.
