Your welcome, Amanda.  Just for the record, when there is a movie made from a book, I ALWAYS like the books better and am somewhat disappointed by the movies, some more than others.

Same here. I've had it where I've gone back and read books after I've seen the films and STILL ended up liking the books more than the films. I don't know what it is...maybe because I like the way I'm able to put the story together in my head better than the way the filmmaker put it on screen? Dunno. At any rate, I think I'm going to have to read the book of Hannibal Rising now because I saw the movie this past weekend and it wasn't bad! I went in with no expectations because I'd heard both good and bad opinions about it and I wanted to try and be neutral. It was actually kind of fun to watch a film and root for the "bad guy"...don't know that I ever personally felt Hannibal was a bad guy to begin with, but you know what I mean. :)

Glad you liked it!  I saw your quote and realized I did a horrible job on the grammar, so just had to go back and fix it.  I think you will like the book better.

I don't think I'll be paying to watch this one, so I'll probably wait until it's shown on TV.
