//Hannibal Lecter: "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti."// The above-mentioned sentence is one of the world famous hair-raising confessions of the psychopath Hannibal 'the cannibal' Lecter, played on the big screen by the academy award winner Anthony Hopkins. Frankly, it is hard to come by a bloodcurdling and sadistic novel like “The Silence of the Lambs” with its cool and unique style of storytelling that leaves you in amazement at its plot and attention to detail! That is where the real success of this book as a best-selling novel lies, in making the reader want more. Leaving us out of breath unable to put down this book. It is my opinion this novel has no known equal and stands out among the rest of its chiller genre. As part of the search for a serial murderer nicknamed "Buffalo Bill," FBI trainee Clarice Starling is given an important assignment. She must visit a man confined to facility for the criminally insane and interview him. That brilliant man, psychopath and cannibal, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, was a psychiatrist with ‘unusual tastes’ and an intense curiosity about the mind. He possesses great understanding of the killer and of Clarice herself which makes The Silence of the Lambs a memorable classic of horror fiction. Furthermore, the book is one of the best reads and pleasing to the eye. It is an amazing piece of its already mind blowing trilogy and great film. I defenately 1 billion percent reccommend this book.
