You are correct, sir. And what I couldn't take...

The first forty pages... twisted 12:46:33 02/14/01 (0)
I too found the first forty pages (for me the first 100 pages) of Hannibal, frankly, disappointing. But, I would say the Florence section (starting on page 111 in the hard bound edition) which follows was superb, perhaps Harris at his finest. Then it, IMO, devolves again when it comes back to the USA. Just a bit too surreal for my taste. But I just might read it again-a diferent time and place. I would recommend the Florence section if you still have the book and inclination. Regards, Jim.

and after only how long? Twenty years? Or was it ten.
Humph. Long enough surely to get it right.
Truly a dissapointment, but I did not stop after 40 pages. I went the distance.
Hope springs eternal.
