鈥淔ear comes with imagination, it鈥檚 a penalty, it鈥檚 the price of imagination.鈥�I first read this book in the early 1990s, before movie came out. Red Dragon was an incredible read, fresh and original. As a reread, when you know what is going to happen, it鈥檚 not quite as good. The book also suffers a bit because over the last 30 years, FBI profiling has become commonly understood and used in books, movies, and TV exhaustively. But my original rating stands. If you鈥檝e never read it before, and like the genre, Red Dragon is a must read. Highly recommended.
