Acerca de este libro electrónico

An ingenious, masterfully written novel, Thomas Harris's The Silence of the Lambs is a classic of suspense and storytelling and the basis for the Oscar award-winning horror film starring Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling and Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter.

A serial murderer known only by a grotesquely apt nickname—Buffalo Bill—is stalking particular women. He has a purpose, but no one can fathom it, for the bodies are discovered in different states. Clarice Starling, a young trainee at the F.B.I. Academy, is surprised to be summoned by Jack Crawford, Chief of the Bureau's Behavioral Science section. Her assignment: to interview Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and grisly killer now kept under close watch in the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Lecter's insight into the minds of murderers could help track and capture Buffalo Bill.

Smart and attractive, Starling is shaken to find herself in a strange, intense relationship with the acutely perceptive Lecter. His cryptic clues—about Buffalo Bill and about her—launch Clarice on a search that every reader will find startling, harrowing, and totally compelling.

Calificaciones y opiniones

Un thriller psicológico que nos muestra la compenetración entre el sociopata Dr. Hannibal Lecter (canibal) encerrado en el psiquiátrico de Baltimore y la joven del FBI Clarice Starling. El Dr. Hanibal Lecter decide ayudar a la joven Clarice a encontrar a un asesino que los periódicos apodan Buffalo Bill haciéndole un aproximado perfil psicológico que la joven del FBI debe ir descubriendo a traves de sus conversaciones con el, no sin antes jugar psicologicamente con la joven. Este triangulo que nos protagonizan estos personajes con una fascinante narrativa de Thomas Harris, hacen de este libro uno de los mejores de este genero.

Amo de principio a fin este libro, y Hannibal Lecter es un personaje sublime, exquisito, me encanta.

Muy bueno, hannibal tiene mas peso en esta obra e incluyen a otro gran personaje (Clarice Starling).
