Query: Swiftness Can't Overcome Illogic

Thomas Harris' THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS reads like gangbusters, hurtling from one scene to the next with sure-fire rythym. Unfortunately, the story and charatcers are a complete wash. Clarice Starling is a pasty, uninteresting heroine, devoid of distinctiveness. Basically, for all the attention bestowed upon her, she comes off as nothing more than a young woman who can't get over her haunting childhood. And Buffalo Bill makes for a ridiculous serial killer; there's no insight or alluring texture to this particular killer -- he's simply a sensationalistic boogy man. In RED DRAGON, author Harris brilliantly conceived a fascinating hero and a just-as-fascinating villian for his nerve-jangling tale. Here, we have a generic plot and characters who just aren't worth engaging in. A bust
