Clarice Starling stopped a little distance from the bars, about the length of a small foyer. He held the loose pages in his right hand and put them beside him one by one with his left. Hannibal Lecter himself reclined on his bunk, perusing the Italian edition of Vogue. Here’s an example, the first time Clarice meets Dr. At first I wanted to look at the structure and characterisation but then the prose got me. I re-watched the movie sometime late last year but I re-read the book about four times in the last twelve months. Since reading it, something I did to study how Thomas Harris pulled off one of the best thrillers in modern times, I’ve become a little obsessed with it (does that happen to you?) I am going to assume you’ve seen the movie, right? Well, there’s a surprising element to the book, one that I had not expected when I read it. If you haven’t read The Silence of The Lambs you are in for a treat.
