Slumping on a sofa, reading the rest of Hannibal Rising to the sounds of Radiohead dancing in the background. It’s moments like this that you just realise that slowing down and just letting things flow is the best thing in the world.

So I finished reading Hannibal rising, in fact I completely slaughtered the last part of the book this evening, and I love it. There’s a certain beauty about the tale that I can’t quite understand but I know it’s there. If you loved the rest of the Hannibal books then you have to read this one.

My only criticism is that some parts of the book do read like a film, with some cheesy film dialect and over dramatic scenes but I did enjoy it all the same. It makes me want to read Red Dragon again, as Hannibal Rising just gave me that same sensation as I get with reading that.

I love love love books and films that keep me thinking long after I’d finished with them, now I’m in some Six Feet Under mood.

Oh I should now download the film, I bet it’ll be another book ruined for me ha.

Weekend off work now, yay - I did have Monday off but now I agreed to work it because I’m silleh and thought an extra 30 quid towards a well needed pc/debts/life/everything would be nice.
