Hannibal (Thomas Harris)

Hindi pa ako tapos. Wala pa nga yata sa kalahati pero shemay nagsisimula nang tumingkad ang kwento. Simula na ng aksyon. At two thumbs up na agad ako.

Ang mga namatay (so far): Gnocco, Renaldo Pazzi, at Matteo.

Ang "whoa!" ng pagpatay kay Gnocco: sirit ang dugo mula sa femoral artery. Swabe talaga. Buong akala ni Gnocco (at napaniwala niya rin ako), "he (Hannibal) almost hit me in my balls". Ayun, mas malala pa pala.

"Dramatic" naman ang pagpatay kay Pazzi. Kkung paanong nagbigti ang kanyang ninuno 500 years ago, ganun din siya pinatay ni Hannibal. "Bowels in or bowels out?" And at the very exact location pa, in the museum (or was it in Palazzo?).

"Typical gore" yung kay Matteo. Puro slash sa buong katawan --- mukha, tiyan, braso, etc. Pero hindi masyado umappeal saken.

THE QUOTE THAT MADE ME FALL FOR HANNIBAL (my "hanni"-lab-so-sweet) XD

His ego, like his intelligence quota, and the degree of his rationality, is not measurable by conventional means. (p.136)

FUNNIEST QUOTE I'VE READ SO FAR (ka-level nito ang katatawanan sa Haunted ni Chuck P.)

Mason Verger, noseless and lipless, with no soft tissue on his face, was all teeth, like a creature of the deep, deep ocean. (p.57)

THE KILIG-TO-THE-BONE QUOTE (Isn't this sweet?!)

He told me once that, whenever it was 'feasible,' he preferred to eat the rude. 'Free-range rude,' he called them. (pp.87-88)

THE QUOTE THAT MADE ME THINK

How do you behave when you know the conventional honors are dross? (p.142)

THE BEST QUOTE SO FAR (gusto ko'ng gawing motto 'to)

The worm that destroys you is the temptation to agree with your critics, to get their approval.
