which do you prefer?
Personally I enjoy both but its important to discuss the similarities as Bryan Fuller is very careful to pay attention to the little details.

I think, because the books are what got me started on Hannibal in the first place, they will always hold something special for me. That being said, I think Bryan Fuller is doing an amazing job interpreting the books. So I think the show is turning out better and could do so much more for the characters than the Movies did (even though I love Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal) I just think that the show because of all that it can cover will do more justice to the books.

to be honest I LOVE reading, so I prefer the books, but I am a fan of the series too. It's very well written.

I think that's the best part of the show. Bryan Fuller is such a fan of the books. He's doing justice to what came before him. He's a fan of the books just like the rest of us.

I like both, but even though in both the movies and the novels Dr. Lecter wins, it is way more epic/scary/shocking in the novels. Enough said. smile Another scene from the movies (don't remember which one) that I thought came out really well from the novels was the scene with the herd of pigs coming toward Dr. Lecter as he was rescuing Clarice, I think. It was quite harrowing in the books, I thought they represented that well in the film.

That scene is in Hannibal and it has to do with the whole Mason Verger plot in the movie. It's because Hannibal shows no fear and the pigs do nothing to him.
