I like Red Dragon. 
 I hope the next books in the series are better. 
 Red Dragon. Ordinary. Interesting but not quite riveting for my taste. Or could I just be expecting more from the famous Thomas Harris? The story seemed so... normal. Heh. I'm beginning to think I am hard to please with this genre (because I love it so much). 
 Will Graham did not look particularly brilliant, but he's a good observer. And Francis Dolarhyde was just as I suspected, predictable but not wholly appealing to me. 
 But... I watched the movie, and I can say that I liked it more than the book. That's why I will continue reading this series. And Hannibal Lecter is calling my name, urging me to be a fan of his. And I think I will answer him when I read the sequel, The Silence of the Lambs. *grins* 
 I might have read too many serial-killing themed books, for Red Dragon was just another (almost) forgettable story among them.
