Without leaning on a heavy bias, I will tell you right off the bat that I am a Thomas Harris fan and have read all of his novels. He has the same erudite skill at setting a thrilling and horrifying but captivating scene, as Stephen King. The fact that both of their respective works translate so easily to the big screen, for my money, tells of their superlative writing talent. It is much harder to write a screenplay, I am told, than to draft a novel.
