Query: A THINLY DISGUISED SCREENPLAY

After being thoroughly intrigued by his two previous novels, I was EXTREMELY disappointed with this one. Harris's writing style resembles a novice: short, choppy sentences, two-sentence paragraphs, and excessive chapters (103 chapters for only 484 pages). The plot development was tedious at times, particularly the numerous pedantic references to Italian art and history, which were not explained to the lay reader. I did enjoy the characterization of Mason Verger (could he more evil than Dr. Lecter?) and the explanation of Lecter's childhood trauma. This novel was not written for readers, it was written for directors, complete with the ending. Let the cameras roll!
