Red Dragon. Silence of the Lambs is ok, Hannibal was boring and Hannibal Rising was so bad I couldn't finish it.

Red Dragon is my favourite as well, although Silence of the Lambs is a really really close second! I like Hannibal and Hannibal Rising equally I think, but Red Dragon was kinda mind blowing.

Red Dragon!
I have not read Hannibal Rising. I read the back of book summary and it did not sound good.
I did not like Hannibal very much. I felt the violence got really over-the-top for no good reason. Not liking that book may be part of the reason I don't care to read Hannibal Rising. I kind of feel like the books started going down in qualtiy, and if I did not like Hannibal I am unlikely to like Hannibal Rising. (If anyone who has read it thought it was really awesome feel free to change my mind...)

It appears it's a unanimous "Red Dragon."
I never finished Hannibal, and I just recently bought Hannibal Rising and read it rather quickly. It was alright but Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs seems to stay the best for me.

Personally I love Silence Of The Lamb more than Red Dragon. I just love how Hannibal get's Clarice to speak about her childhood and the whole Lamb's and everything, I just think it was so much more interesting than Red Dragon even though you don't see a lot of Hannibal in it and then Hannibal escapes and your like O: what!
I mean the whole story of Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter in Red Dragon is brilliant but I feel so sorry for Will at the end, and it seems Clarice and Lecter's relationship in Silence Of The Lamb is so much better I don't now why I find it better but I just do
And I love at the end of Silence Of The Lamb that Hannibal sends a letter to Clarice asking 'if the Lambs had stopped screaming yet' that one sentence makes me shiver so bad.

Jumping in here. I preferred Silence of the Lambs as well. Clarice and Hannibal play well off each other.

Living Lately Jumping in here. I preferred Silence of the Lambs as well. Clarice and Hannibal play well off each other. I totally agree. I think this is what I am most looking forward to if the TV series gets that far. And I wonder if they will keep Will on and incorporate that into the Clarice/Hannibal plots. It would be interesting to see that dynamic.

Did anyone know that for Hannibal Rising, Thomas Harris originally didn't want to write any kind of prequel? He felt it was better that the mystery surrounding the character Dr. Lecter was better left alone. That and that if he himself didn't write it, someone else was (that person approached Harris about it) and so, hence, there is 'Hannibal Rising." I thought this was an interesting tidbit of information.

I thought this was an interesting tidbit of information. I was under the impression that he was approached about a movie prequel and wasn't going to do it but the studio that made the other movies was going to go ahead with it anyway so he wrote the screenplay first and then the book to go with his series better.

Oh, ok. You could be more accurate than I was. It is interesting though, I will say that.
