Who says that children's books have to be all about fighting and lots of action? With "Dragon of the Red Dawn" Mary Pope Osborne showed once more that the escape into a world of imagination can be fun, captivating and keep children occupied for more than an hour. Listening to this audio book makes the kids travel into yet another time and country.
A wonderful book, read by the author, and another beautiful adventure with Jack and Annie.

Hannibal Rising

Hannibal

ASIN: 0743540271

Amazon.com

Lying on a cot in his cell with Alexandre Dumas's Le Grand Dictionnaire de Cuisine open on his chest, Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter makes his debut in this legendary horror novel, which is even better than its sequel, The Silence of the Lambs. As in Silence, the pulse-pounding suspense plot involves a hypersensitive FBI sleuth who consults psycho psychiatrist Lecter for clues to catching a killer on the loose.

The sleuth, Will Graham, actually quit the FBI after nearly getting killed by Lecter while nabbing him, but fear isn't what bugs him about crime busting. It's just too creepy to get inside a killer's twisted mind. But he comes back to stop a madman who's been butchering entire families. The FBI needs Graham's insight, and Graham needs Lecter's genius. But Lecter is a clever fiend, and he manipulates both Graham and the killer at large from his cell.

That killer, Francis Dolarhyde, works in a film lab, where he picks his victims by studying their home movies. He's obsessed with William Blake's bizarre painting The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun, believing there's a red dragon within him, the personification of his demonic drives. Flashbacks to Dolarhyde's terrifying childhood and superb stream-of-consciousness prose get us right there inside his head. When Dolarhyde does weird things, we understand why. We sympathize when the voice of the cruel dead grandma who raised and crazed him urges him to mayhem--she's way scarier than that old bat in Psycho. When he falls in love with a blind girl at the lab, we hope he doesn't give in to Grandma's violent advice.

This book is awesomely detailed, ingeniously plotted, judiciously gory, and fantastically imagined. If you haven't read it, you've never had the creeps. --Tim Appelo

Book Description

In the realm of psychological suspense, Thomas Harris stands alone. exploring both the nature of human evil and the nerve-racking anatomy of forensic investigation, Harris unleashes a frightening vision of the dark side of our well-lighted world. In this extraordinary tale -- which preceded The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal, Harris introduced the unforgettable character Dr. Hannibal Lecter. And in it, Will Graham -- the FBI man who hunted Lecter down -- risks his sanity and his life to duel a killer called...

The Red Dragon

A quiet summer night...a neat suburban house...and another happy family is shattered -- the latest victims of a grisly series of hideous sacrificial killings that no one understands, and no one can stop. Nobody lives to tell of the unimaginable carnage. Only the blood-stained walls bear witness.

All hope rests on the Special Agent Will Graham, who must peer inside the killer's tortured soul to understand his rage, to anticipate and prevent his next vicious crime. Desperate for help, Graham finds himself locked in a deadly alliance with the brilliant Dr. Hannibal Lecter -- the infamous mass murderer who Graham put in prison years ago. As the imprisoned Lecter tightens the reins of revenge, Graham's feverish pursuit of the Red Dragon draws him inside the warped mind of a psychopath,, into an unforgettable world of demonic ritual and violence, beyond the limits of human terror.

Good, very good........2007-06-13

Enjoyed the great thinking and writing style.

The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed With the Sun.......2007-04-11

Thomas Harris shoves the horrible side of his characters in your face for the first part of his book. By the end you have seen all sides of them and never want to let them go.

Groundbreaking crime fiction.......2007-04-06

Red Dragon was groundbreaking when it came out in 1981 and has been the benchmark used by literally hundreds (maybe thousands) of crime novels since. Reading the novel today, it does feel a little dated (some younger readers may have no idea that home movies were once shot on 8mm film & shown on movie projectors) but Red Dragon still stands head and shoulders above the vast majority of copycat novels that have followed in its wake.

The plot: Will Graham a former FBI profiler who was nearly killed catching Hannibal Lecter is asked to return to the fold and help the FBI catch a serial killer, the so-called Tooth Fairy (at least so-called by the media). The killer(who calls himself Red Dragon) murders entire families in their homes and shows a propensity to bite some of his victims. Reluctantly Graham enters the investigation, forcing himself to enter the mind of a killer.

Readers expecting this to be a novel about Hannibal Lector may be disappointed. Lector plays a much smaller role in Red Dragon than he did in Silence of the Lambs.

Red Dragon is well written and provides fascinating insight into the behavioral sciences arm of the FBI and into the mind of a sociopath. Harris has crafted the ultimate page turner (not quite as compelling as Silence of the Lambs, but almost).

I highly recommend this novel. One of the best crime novels ever written and certainly one of the most influential.

The Red Dragon.......2007-03-21

I really liked Red Dragon. It was very interesting in the way it handled the psychology of the killer. He clearly suffered from some sort of multiple personality disorder, but it seemed that he chooses the other personality. The Red Dragon at first seems to be a being of Francis Dolarhyde's choosing. But, as you start to learn about the life of Francis, you see that he has turned his abusive grandmother's memory into a personality he is melding with. He talks to his grandmother's picture like he is not afraid of her, but you can tell he fears the Red Dragon. The Red Dragon reminds me of Gollum in the Lord of the Rings. Francis is both terrified and fascinated by the Dragon, so he does it's bidding, killing two families to appease it. Will Graham, a retired FBI consultant is called in to help catch this terrifying serial killer. Graham asks the help of the insane Hannibal Lector, who the killer idolizes. Lector turns the killer against Graham, and he must find the killer before he kills again, and this time, Graham is his target. A well-written novel. I didn't like the profanity, but it wasn't extravagant or misused. The language used was interesting. At times it sounded like an omnipotent third party, and sometimes like an observer from the outside. I have never watched any of the Hannibal movies, but now I might just consider it.

Where the legend started.......2007-03-18

"Red Dragon" was the book that introduced one of fictions greatest characters ever, Hannibal Lector, to the world. This is also Thomas Harris' finest work to date. This book is literature, not just any novel.

The way Mr Harris manages to get the reader inside the main characters mind is almost uncanny. When we hear about the Red Dragon in shape of Francis Dolarhyde, we get to know him, understand him and indeed his actions, heinous as they may be. Also we see inside agent Graham, who is the former FBI agent, that leads the hunt for the Red Dragon. We know why he suffer and we understand why he acts as he does.

Thomas Harris presents to the reader a work of psychology, a work of great magnitude, exploring the twisted and deranged mind of a mass murderer. Highest possible recommendation.
