The Silence of the Lambs - Thomas Harris

OK, so I broke my golden rule with this one: Always watch the film After you read the book.

Despite that, the book was excellent. It eases you in to the feeling of tension, and then carries your through with such velocity that you get caught up in the story in a way which you don't expect. I find myself feeling much more for both Dr Lecter and for Clarice. Excellent stuff.

Despite having read Hannibal by the same author, I will be reading it again to see all the things I missed through not having read tSotL beforehand.
