You are correct. I loved Hannibal until the ending. I'm not the only one either. Clarice would never, ever do what she does in the end. Never. Ever. Nevereverneverever!Have you read Hannibal? I know some SKMBers aren't too fond of it (right, kingricefan ?! ) because the ending is far fetched, but Harris's writing and use of language is spectacular. I think it might be one of SK's recommended reads at the end of On Writing (I keep forgetting to check!!).
