Hannibal (the book) is a trip and a half, seriously. I think Thomas Harris just threw stuff at the page in a kind of joyous chaotic way. Though I think it works better now that we've got the psychedelic tv series behind us, if you know what I mean?

From:

I don't know if "joyous" is really the word but yeah, that's a good description! I didn't at all expect what happens in the end and I still don't know if I entirely buy it, but eventually I'll read the last book. I haven't seen the TV series (though I've seen a lot of screenshots and such on Tumblr) so I have no idea how it illuminates the book. Is Clarice Starling even in the TV series?
