Summary
The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the #1 New York Times bestselling classic， now with a note by author Thomas Harris revealing his inspiration for Hannibal Lecter。
A serial murderer known only by a grotesquely apt nickname—Buffalo Bill—is stalking particular women。 He has a purpose， but no one can fathom it， for the bodies are discovered in different states。 Clarice Starling， a young trainee at the F。B。I。 Academy， is surprised to be summoned by Jack Crawford， Chief of the Bureau's Behavioral Science section。 Her assignment: to interview Dr。 Hannibal Lecter， a brilliant psychiatrist and grisly killer now kept under close watch in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane。 Lecter's insight into the minds of murderers could help track and capture Buffalo Bill。
Smart and attractive， Starling is shaken to find herself in a strange， intense relationship with the acutely perceptive Lecter。 His cryptic clues—about Buffalo Bill and about her—launch Clarice on a search that every reader will find startling， harrowing， and totally compelling。
An ingenious， masterfully written novel， The Silence of the Lambs is a classic of suspense and storytelling。

One of my favourite films is silence of the lambs and I’d never actually read the book！ But the book lived up to my expectations and I really enjoyed it！！ I can’t wait to read the rest of the series and see what hannibal gets up to xox

A step down from the stellar Red Dragon but this is still a great crime thriller with great characters and a thrilling final act

This book was amazing！ It's a very sophisticated read， and you'll need to take some time to really process and think it over。 This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time， from the description to the mystery to Hannibal。 Hannibal Lecter has to be one of my favourite fictional characters of all time。 He was so well written， and mysterious。 Everything about him just screamed psycho。 I definitely reccomend this to people who are interested in a good mystery crime fiction。 This book was amazing！ It's a very sophisticated read， and you'll need to take some time to really process and think it over。 This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time， from the description to the mystery to Hannibal。 Hannibal Lecter has to be one of my favourite fictional characters of all time。 He was so well written， and mysterious。 Everything about him just screamed psycho。 I definitely reccomend this to people who are interested in a good mystery crime fiction。 。。。more

El personaje de Hannibal Lecter es uno de los más interesantes que ha dado la literatura contemporánea。 Las mejores partes del libro， son las conversaciones que Clarice mantiene con Lecter， por que en ellas te das cuenta de la complejidad de este individuo。 La historia es muy interesante en todos sus aspectos， desde las complejas técnicas de los laboratorios del FBI hasta las investigaciones "a pie de calle"。 En resumen un buen libro， interesante， emocionante y que engancha de principio a fin。 El personaje de Hannibal Lecter es uno de los más interesantes que ha dado la literatura contemporánea。 Las mejores partes del libro， son las conversaciones que Clarice mantiene con Lecter， por que en ellas te das cuenta de la complejidad de este individuo。 La historia es muy interesante en todos sus aspectos， desde las complejas técnicas de los laboratorios del FBI hasta las investigaciones "a pie de calle"。 En resumen un buen libro， interesante， emocionante y que engancha de principio a fin。 。。。more

Este libro me ha gustado mucho。Como siempre el Dr。 Hannibal ha estado magnífico y excepcional， lo mejor de la historia sin dudas。Me encanta cómo está construido este personaje y el hecho de cómo es el centro de la historia sin que se nos hable mucho de él， me encanta。El crimen en esta entrega me ha gustado más que en la anterior， aunque sí me hubiese gustado un final un poco más alargado。Un libro que atrapa y emociona。 Recomendado。

Short and sweet:- The running 'silence of the lambs' theme makes a bit more sense in the film。- Clarice Starling is a pluckier， more resilient character in the novel compared to her film counterpart。- Similarly， Catherine Martin is tougher than her film counterpart。- The subplot of Jack Crawford and his wife， which is absent in the film， is very touching。- Dr Lecter in the film and the novel， I find to be virtually the same for better and worse。 If you enjoyed Anthony Hopkins' performance， you s Short and sweet:- The running 'silence of the lambs' theme makes a bit more sense in the film。- Clarice Starling is a pluckier， more resilient character in the novel compared to her film counterpart。- Similarly， Catherine Martin is tougher than her film counterpart。- The subplot of Jack Crawford and his wife， which is absent in the film， is very touching。- Dr Lecter in the film and the novel， I find to be virtually the same for better and worse。 If you enjoyed Anthony Hopkins' performance， you should enjoy Lecter here。Great novel， was not disappointed。 。。。more

I found this book to be super popular， but this time I had the opportunity to bring her back。 The first impression I had was to say "My Gout" because I liked it so much。 I love this genre the most， the type of horror combined with the detective。 I've read this genre but it's produced by different countries， and I still like American's best （I guess I don't fit Japanese style， all genres）。The Silence of the Lambs is the second book in the Hannibal - Thomas Harris series。 The 4 complete books in o I found this book to be super popular， but this time I had the opportunity to bring her back。 The first impression I had was to say "My Gout" because I liked it so much。 I love this genre the most， the type of horror combined with the detective。 I've read this genre but it's produced by different countries， and I still like American's best （I guess I don't fit Japanese style， all genres）。The Silence of the Lambs is the second book in the Hannibal - Thomas Harris series。 The 4 complete books in order are Red Dragon， Silence of the Lambs， Hannibal， and finally Hannibal Rises。 See you guys one day not far away when I can afford to take the other 3。Here I will not talk about the plot （if you want to know， you should read it directly， it is better to read through these lines of mine）， I will talk about the things that interest me after reading SILCBC。 The first thing that impressed me most about the character of Doctor Hannibal Lecter （at first he was scared， then I loved him so much） was not because he killed 9 people with the intention of eating them， but because he was extremely intelligent。 As for me at SILCBC， this psychiatrist had extensive knowledge in psychiatry that made him mind control his prey， then kill and finally eat them for entertainment purposes only。 more no less。 He was just indifferent， not afraid of torture or beating， but only afraid of boredom。 Thanks to his intelligence as well as experience， he knew the whereabouts of Bill Bo Mong （a murderer who specializes in killing women for their skin， as well as their body parts to satisfy his purpose） but he did not know。 divulging that information only leads the FBI to think and find him before the hostage is killed。 In this part， I still don't think it's enough to describe the psychology and personality as well as answer the question Why did he become like that？ Perhaps the following sections will help me learn more about this monstrous but multi-talented doctor。I was super excited to know that near the end of the story Dr。 Lecter managed to escape by impaling 2 of the nurses， so SILCBC doesn't end but opens another story。When I first read it， I thought it was ok， interesting。 But in the middle of the story， it was a bit languid， after the last part pushed to the climax so I had to watch it all at 11 o'clock to bear it！！！In general， this is a good book， satisfying enough in this boring epidemic season。 。。。more

Este thriller policíaco engancha desde las primeras páginas haciendo justicia a su fama。 Si quieres empezar a adentrarte en este género narrativo， no encontrarás mejor forma de hacerlo。Tengo que admitir que los relatos en torno a crímenes nunca me han apasionado y， por ello， tuve bastantes dudas a la hora de sumergirme en la historia que Thomas Harris nos presenta。 Ahora puedo asegurar con total convicción que no será la última novela sobre asesinatos que lea。 Uno de los puntos fuertes de la tra Este thriller policíaco engancha desde las primeras páginas haciendo justicia a su fama。 Si quieres empezar a adentrarte en este género narrativo， no encontrarás mejor forma de hacerlo。Tengo que admitir que los relatos en torno a crímenes nunca me han apasionado y， por ello， tuve bastantes dudas a la hora de sumergirme en la historia que Thomas Harris nos presenta。 Ahora puedo asegurar con total convicción que no será la última novela sobre asesinatos que lea。 Uno de los puntos fuertes de la trama a mi parecer es cómo logra que nos sintamos en conexión con Clarice Starling， la estudiante del FBI que lidera el hilo conductor de esta。 Nos da a conocer poco a poco su pasado， sus motivaciones， sus puntos fuertes y， por supuesto， sus débiles。 Es decir， consigue darle en su totalidad una personalidad y una naturalidad propias de un ser humano real， alejándose de los trillados estereotipos。 Por otro lado， refleja el machismo que debe afrontar una mujer como agente。 Es un tema que， pese a no tener un gran peso durante la historia， aporta una visión mayor de las barreras de género que siguen teniendo que superar las mujeres en su día a día。Además de Starling， se nos muestra a otros personajes con los que llegamos a sentir todo tipo de sentimientos， desde asco hasta admiración。 Dos de ellos que me gustaría destacar son el jefe de Ciencias del Comportamiento， llamado Crawford， y Aníbal Lecter， el asesino caníbal que muchos conoceréis por tratarse de uno de los componentes estrella tanto del filme como de la obra literaria。 En primer lugar， se nos permite curiosear en la vida de Crawford， conociendo a Bella y su trágica historia。 Esto nos muestra la carga del personaje y cómo deja atrás una situación complicada en el ámbito familiar para centrarse en su trabajo， algo que resulta muy complicado。 En segundo lugar， está Aníbal que， desde mi punto de vista， es uno de los mejores personajes。 Inteligente y despiadado， capaz de captar la esencia de cualquiera con tal solo una mirada。 El psiquiatra que ninguno queremos， pero del que todos deseamos saber más。 Sus intervenciones me han resultado una de las partes más interesantes。 Tengo que advertir que a partir de aquí aparecerán un par de “spoilers”， así que， si no has leído este libro， te aconsejo que dejes esta reseña y vuelvas cuando lo hayas acabado。Uno de los mayores dilemas que se me plantearon durante la lectura es el asesino en serie a quien persiguen。 Jame Gumb， un hombre que mata y desuella a mujeres para hacerse un traje con su piel， para sentirse más mujer。 Me preocupaba que la novela pudiera criminalizar a los transexuales， dando a entender ideas erróneas sobre el colectivo。 Sin embargo， el autor sabe muy bien cómo evitar situaciones de odio a partir de su obra y señala claramente a través de los sucesos que no se trata de una acción realizada por un miembro de esta minoría。 Como conclusión， podemos afirmar que “El silencio de los inocentes” es ese libro de suspense que te deja en vela toda la noche porque necesitas saber qué va a pasar。 。。。more

I went into this book confident I would love it and I was right！ It was an amazing follow up to Red Dragon and Hannibal & Buffalo Bill were both great villains。 I absolutely loved both Clarice and Jack's characters and they worked so well together。 This is an instance where I did see the movie before reading the book and I still think they are both great and supplement each other well。 If you loved the movie， but haven't read the book， I'm confident you will love the book。 I went into this book confident I would love it and I was right！ It was an amazing follow up to Red Dragon and Hannibal & Buffalo Bill were both great villains。 I absolutely loved both Clarice and Jack's characters and they worked so well together。 This is an instance where I did see the movie before reading the book and I still think they are both great and supplement each other well。 If you loved the movie， but haven't read the book， I'm confident you will love the book。 。。。more

Very often the most acclaimed end up disappointing us the most。Eventually things get going and there is some action but until then the narrative is upstaged by police jargon。
