I actually found the hannibal books to be quite boring. The movies were much better.

I'm a serious Hannibal Lecter fan, but I have to say that I agree with you. Hopkins seemed to know the character better than the series' author Thomas Harris did.
Unlike most serious fans, I hated the book ending of
Hannibal, Lecter allowing Clarice to run with him seemed very out-of-character to me, especially after her substantial change in character from
SOTL to
Hannibal. Also I have to say that
Hannibal Rising was terrible for a Hannibal Lecter "chapter", both movie and book.
Hannibal Rising contradicted so many things about his childhood that were stated in the book
Hannibal.
Also how he escapes from prison in the book
Silence of the Lambs wasn't nearly as spectacular as the movie.
The best book I've ever read is
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult
It's about a teenage girl who sues her parents because she was concieved to be a genetic match to her older sister who was diagnosed with leukymia. It made me cry at the end.
