Hannibal Rising by Thomas Harris
3.0

This was by far the most “disappointing” book in the series.
It really wasn’t what I was expecting.
It was a complicated story, which I didn’t always understand and with a lot of side-stories, which, in my opinion, didn’t really matter for the bigger story.

All-in-all, the book did explain how Hannibal became the monster and it was nice to know how and who he was as a child.

The book wasn’t bad, but it’s certainly not my favourite of the series.
