Eye Opening

While listening to the book, I was astounded by how much the film diminished Starling's strength of character and, to a great extent, altered the story line entirely. As is often the case, the movie doesn't hold a candle to the book. Until I listened to Mr Muller narrate the book, the movie was a favorite of mine. Mr. Muller's narration was excellent - one of the best audio book performers I've listened to thus far. I wish he would narrate the others in the Hanibal series as well - what a treat that'd be.

Movie follows book almost verbatium

This is a great listen. It is only ruined if you have ever seen the movie. The book could almost been the screenplay for movie. Therefore there is no suspense because you know exactly what will happen. So if you have seen the movie maybe save the credit. If you have not seen movie, then listen to this then watch the movie. It is much more suspenseful in that order.

Still great all these years later.

The performance was chillingly good. Sounded a lot like Anthony Hopkins. Thoroughly enjoyed reading the book again.

Excellent Listen

Very enjoyable to listen to. The narration is top notch and the story, although familiar because of the screenplay, remains very suspenseful. Highly recommended.

Frank Muller is Hannibal!

The book is very well written. But like any audible book, it all rests on the narration. Frank Muller is awesome! Gets all the voices down. Particularly Hannibal's. Loved it!
