    Cosa è successo tra Jesse e Derek e cosa é successo quando hanno arrestato Ted Tennenbaum?!? Sta iniziando a intrigarmi questa lettura

  • When you don't need to read the book after seeing the movie

    I think, like most readers, I prefer reading the book/series that inspires a movie or tv show. Usually I prefer reading the book before seeing a movie if the plot seems interesting! Often, if I find out a movie/tv show is inspired by/based on a book, it makes me want to read the book even more! This is especially true if the show/movie is dissatisfying or a trainwreck (final season of Game of Thrones anyone?)

    However. There are some exceptions to this rule. Stephen King, for example. Loveeee Stand by Me, and I read the book it was based on. Loved The Shining, etc etc. But I realized after reading some of his books that I really don't need to read his stuff 😅 i enjoy the adaptations!! Another example is Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal. I loved both the movie and tv show, and I don't think I really care to read the series?

    Anyone relate? Thoughts? 😺

    No veo la necesidad de que el libro sea así de grueso

    This book is a real descovery, i loved every second of it, this is the only book that i’ve read of this author and again i loved every second. The atmosphere, the characters, the twist and the drawings, this book is something else. Of you are looking for a book that combines a fast placed plot with genuine heart and a haunting mystery, look no further.

    I really enjoyed this book, it was a light reading, the story captured me really well and the plot twist were good enough for make me think about it. I read that this is a triology which different stories but with the same character, I don’t think I’m going to read the other books even if I appreciate this one

    It was ok, I didn’t like how it ended. For 737 pages was a nice and smooth reading

    Loved this book, I read the book first and watch the movie later. Hannibal Lecter is an absolute genius and I loved the relationship between Hannibal and Clarice. I think the end of the book was a bit rushed but the suspense during the reading was crazy. Loved it
