Amazon.co.uk
The Silence of the Lambs, by Thomas Harris, is even better than the successful movie. Like his earlier Red Dragon, the book takes us inside the world of professional criminal investigation. All the elements of a well-executed thriller are working here--driving suspense, compelling characters, inside information, publicity-hungry bureaucrats thwarting the search, and the clock ticking relentlessly down toward the death of another young woman. What enriches this well-told tale is the opportunity to live inside the minds of both the crime fighters and the criminals as each struggles in a prison of pain and seeks, sometimes violently, relief.
Clarice Starling, a precociously self-disciplined FBI trainee, is dispatched by her boss, Section Chief Jack Crawford, the FBI's most successful tracker of serial killers, to see whether she can learn anything useful from Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Lecter's a gifted psychopath whose nickname is "The Cannibal" because he likes to eat parts of his victims. Isolated by his crimes from all physical contact with the human race, he plays an enigmatic game of "Clue" with Starling, providing her with snippets of data that, if she is smart enough, will lead her to the criminal. Undaunted, she goes where the data takes her. As the tension mounts and the bureaucracy thwarts Starling at every turn, Crawford tells her, "Keep the information and freeze the feelings." Insulted, betrayed, and humiliated, Starling struggles to focus. If she can understand Lecter's final, ambiguous scrawl, she can find the killer. But can she figure it out in time? --Barbara Schlieper -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

Clarice Starling is trained to be an FBI agent. She gets an unusual assignment: she is to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, serial murderer and cannibal who is also a very sophisticated psychiatrist. Starling's task is to get another serial killer's profile out of the experienced doctor.
Dr. Lecter has as of yet refused to share information with other agents. Nobody really expects him to share with Clarice.
Unexpectedly, she can establish a contact to him which she tries to deepen when a senator's daughter is being abducted by the "current" serial killer. As time is of the essence, many people try to be successfull at the man-hunt, and almost all of them try to get Starling out of the case.
Starling decides on her further choices - and the reader gets an idea why Dr. Lecter thinks her egregious.

When you hear about "The Silence of the Lambs", you probably start immediately to remember some scenes from the movie starring Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins. It is difficult to write something about a story that is so well known, basically by its adaptation for the screen which has been buried under a heap of academy awards.
There is hardly something I could add with respect to the other customer reviews. It is a well-written, gripping, interesting novel about the evil side of life. You probably know the story: A young FBI trainee is sent to "Hannibal the cannibal" with the aim of finding something about his (Lecter's) psychological situation. But soon it turns out that Hannibal Lecter knows something about a series of murders in which the victims are skinned and scalped. This case is the main interest of Clarice Starling's boss. The discovery of new victims, the kidnapping of the daughter of a U.S. senator and the jealousy of the director of Lector's prison make some complications which speed up the story and keep it going until the final confrontation of Trainee-Agent Starling with the murderer is reached.
Of course, it is impossible to adapt a novel for the screen without losing details. But especially in this "psycho" thriller, the thoughts, surroundings, and feelings of the people are of interest; and this "fine structure" is likely to get lost in the movie. Also in this case. The details of the figures are far more interesting (and are far better developed) than the struggle to find something out about the psychological motives and situations of the murderer. The latter was a tiny bit disappointing for me since I had hoped that more information would be contained in the book than in the film.
But nonetheless, this story is a page-turning roller-coaster into the depths of the human souls, not frightening, but terrifying.

After I read Red Dragon (the fabulous prequel of The Silence of The Lambs), I couldn't wait to read The Silence of the Lambs. I was totally blown away by this book. I could just sit for hours and read the things Hannibal said. As a matter of fact, I did! It was great when Hannibal would ask Clarice about the screaming lambs and the way he played with people's minds. Anyone with a weak stomach shouldn't read this. You'll know why when you get to what Hannibal did to Pembry and the other (his name slips my mind). Everytime you begin one chapter, you can't wait to get to the next. It's hard for me to talk about this because it was so well thought out and it's the best book I have ever read. I'm now reading Hannibal and I already love it.

A chilling masterpiece!
In my opinion, Thomas Harris' great genius is his ability to give the reader empathy for all his characters, even ones who kill and eat other people! Lesen Sie weiter...

Hannibal Lecter chilled my blood!
What's more scary than a human monster, a man that lives to literally feed off the weak and the vulnerable? A man that eats people's livers with fava beans and a nice chiante? Lesen Sie weiter...
