The movie is such a classic and the performances by Jodie foster and Anthony Hopkins are so indelible that it's hard to think I'll be able to read the book without constantly comparing it to the movie. Also, there's not going to be much suspense.

I did read Hannibal before seeing the movie. It was sort of fun in its over the top Grand guignol style.
