Reply #64: You DID read all the books: correct? [View All]

Harris was a crime reporter, and I think he did a good job covering his bases, considering the intervals between the books.

Nevertheless, I think that darker depths of Starling's character were glossed over, and that the character was never developed as it should of been.

I do think we can both agree that none of the "Lecter" books could have truly been done justice on the screen in less than 3 hours each, which the film industry consistently refuses to do.

I'd have paid DOUBLE ticket price for each film if they'd done it, though. "Gettysburg" did very well, as did the longer versions of "Das Boot." It's a badly underrated market.
