Query: Pigs? Wait, let me read that again...Pigs?!

People read (or saw) SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and came to associate Hannibal Lecter with the embodiemnt of evil. For Harris to turn him to the book's central focus and something of a sympathetic character is fine; a very interesting twist. However, the rest of the characters here are boring and one-dimensional. Mason Verger? Please! His huge revenge plot is almost laughable. The scenes in Italy read like a phone book. Overall, a waste of $25.00. James Ellroy once wrote that he wanted to be as good a writer as Harris. If this is Harris' new standard, Ellroy will have no problem.
