![]() ![]() I'm looking forward to reading the Silence of the Lambs part next.Silence of the Lambs sees more of the tense changing, detailed and realistically twisted writing of Thomas Harris. More psychological in the film ending, and maybe more optimistic too. The film was almost entirely true to the book, although I must admit, I feel the film did it better nearer the end and with the characters of Graham and his family - it felt like he had more to lose, and the sequence of events seemed cleaner and easier to understand. The sporadic changes of tense and the wonderings of the final chapter still leave you thinking hard.
