About this listen

From the author of Silence of the Lambs, it's the terrifying tale that introduced the world to Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter. There's a serial killer on the loose who specializes in murdering innocent, happy families, and now it's up to FBI Special Agent Will Graham to understand the brutal killer's motivation and anticipate his next move. Graham needs to get inside the killer's mind; to do that, he needs the help of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the brilliant and vicious mass murderer whom Graham locked away years ago. The psychotic psychiatrist Lecter guides Graham deep into the Red Dragon's twisted world of demonic ritual and violence.©1989 Yazoo Enterprises, Inc, All Rights Reserved (P)1989 Simon & Schuster Inc., All Rights Reserved Crime Thrillers Genre Fiction Mystery Psychological Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction Thriller Exciting Scary Dragons

Critic reviews

"Red Dragon is an engine designed for one purpose - to make the pulse pound, the heart palpitate, the fear glands secrete." (The New York Times Book Review)

I grew up during the 80s and my father Rented the movie I fell in love with the creativity of the story the characters the soundtrack. The book feels in some of those gaps that film doesn’t have time for which helps you will really enjoy this book.

Spectacular suspenseful

Awesome story with lots of twist. Hated the narrator though. Made Lector sound a scared nerd. His constant loud breathing was also distracting.

Great book

awesome book

The story is much faster paced and not quite as dark as the unabridged version. It seemed to not include all the original Will Graham and Hannibal interactions which I think makes the book the most fascinating. Good book, great story, but not excellent. If I’m reading a Hannibal series book I expect atleast all the Hannibal experiences included.

Abridged removed most of Hannibal

Why only the short version available in English? Seriously, it's available unabridged in other languages on audible but not English. Perplexing..............

Why is the unabridged not available in English??

The story is good, very similar to the show (third season Hannibal). A little bit too short.

It wasn't bad, too little of Hannibal though

I like it but the narrator was not my favorite to listen to. I am glad I listened though the ending was a bit of a abrupt stop.

the TV show and book were petty close

it feels like more was left out than intended. not exactly worth the time really.

not enough
