Better to redirect this to the film rather than create more and more articles. Skinnyweed 18:55, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Plot summary
The plot summary is too long and detailed. ChKa 19:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

- Comment: There are two entries for The Silence of the Lambs, film and novel. The film's article is better written than this one. This article is basically a duplicate of the other, and why do we need two similar articles? One should complement the other or provide different set of facts based on "book" and "film" differences. I think this article would improve greatly if the "summary" is actually a summary of the plot (clear and concisive). The plot is so finely described that one doesn't need to read the book or see the film, every detail is pretty much given away. Even secondary actions are provided such as "Miggs flings semen at her"...Starling takes the chrysalis to the Smithsonian"...last paragraph Hannibal says to Starling "The world being more interesting with you in it" giving a way even the last finale comment. There is so much in this article that should be cut down, because right now reading it loses the reader in the process or gives the full book away for free. The point of the article is to provide information not write a book on Wiki. My suggestion is to summarize the book's story, add elements that distinguish book from film, (which differences are noted already in the film's article), maybe a few facts about the author. Shorten this, and link to "see also" to the film article for more info. Breathe200 16:26, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] census taker
When Hannibal kills his census taker and dines on his liver, what else did he dine on? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.95.80.227 (talk) 16:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
