On the basis of Red Dragon, maybe. Many think Red Dragon was
the beginning of the real serial killer thriller craze, and
think it is still the best one. So, Silence rode on its
coattails. And then this godawful Hannibal? Those are the
only two books the guy has written since RD. Critics
sometimes go easy on people they liked the first time around,
and keep going easy for far too long.
