Red Dragon

I knew the plot of Red Dragon from seeing the 2002 film several times, but this is my first time reading the novel. I highly enjoyed Harris' writing style and attention to detail. I can see how the forensic descriptions could be tiresome to some, but I found it added to the lives of these federal officers. They need to know the ins and outs of forensics in these crimes and all crimes they investigate. It pulled me in. While it took me a while to finish the book, that's on me. I just didn't pick it up often until this past month when I was excited to read it and find out what happened. I do feel the ending was a bit rushed, but other than that, I loved the whole thing.
