Hey Andi, good morning, ( or whatever time of day for you) This was a a great idea for a video. I have a real skill for book reviews. Keep up the good work🤝🎉

Oh boy! So cool 😮📚. Interesting as usual. I’m planning to do the “Hannibal” series at some point, as part of the macabre 😈. You have an interesting outlook on this one, now I must read it all again😆😀🙌🏻.

Hey, thanks for the plug! :) Hannibal still irks me just thinking about that book, lol. XD

Wow a point so well made. I feel 100% the same about Bram Stoker's Dracula so it really resonated when you described it

Yes Hannibal Lecter is one of my fave literary villains since the Red Dragon novel I read way back in eighty-one. I liked the Hannibal novel a lot but not nearly as much as the first two. It was a bestseller when it was published but has been heavily critiqued since then. The late Martin Amis didn’t like it apparently because the author’s use of language was wrong and not erudite enough which I thought was a pretty petty reason for disliking it. The small Gideon Bible you held up is the same edition I was given as a school kid. The issue with Jesus is there’s now a consensus among both religious and secular scholars that he actually existed and was a real person but beyond that we can’t be sure of much or even if he said the things attributed to him.⚛❤
