If you are a fan of foul play, gruesome deaths, cannibals, and the horrors of World War II, this book should be a high priority on your reading list! Even though it is the most Recent Hannibal(the Cannibal)Lecter book, it is not in the present time of the deviously and deliciously insane doctor that we have been accustomed to. This book delves deep into Hannibal's past, starting at Castle Lecter in Europe, home of Hannibal's father, the duke. After the airbombing begins to become dangerously close to his home, Hannibal and his small sister, Mischa, are taken to the family hunting lodge deep within the woods. This is also where things go horribly, disgustingly wrong. Hannibal is later found wandering about with a heavy chain around his neck, utterly mute to the men that decide to show kindness to him, and suffering from slight memory loss of what had happened at the lodge. He is then taken to live with his father's brother and his beautiful Japanese wife, Lady Murasaki. As he grows with time, so do his deadly ideals. After regaining his memories piece by piece, Hannibal sets out to find the men responsible for the gory and mind warping scenes that plague his thoughts. Using his cunning intellect and smarts, he tracks them down one by one to exact his revenge. And in Hannibal Lecter's case, revenge tastes sweet quite literally.
5Q- Hard to imagine a better book.
3P- Some teen appeal. (Not for the squeamish or pure of mind!)
