Exactly. And I was biased against the film/novel to begin with, because it was assumed that Dino De Laurentiis (who owned the rights to the character), sort of pushed Thomas Harris into writing a hackneyed screenplay so he could cash in on the franchise. Harris has always been one of my favorite authors, so Hannibal Rising was a particular disappointment.
