Shutter Island


By Dennis Lehane...this author has written some great books that have been made into some great movies (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone)...this book is made into a movie as well...but after reading the book, I am not sure I want to see the movie. Now, the book was so good, so suspenseful, so unpredictable...but now that I have read the book, I think that the movie won't have the same suspense factor. Although...the book keeps you guessing, right up until the very end. Two US Marshalls are called to an island to investigate the disappearance of a mental patient...from the moment they arrive things are weird...the staff seem unhelpful, protocol hasn't been followed...what is going on? Things from one of the marshall's past comes to the surface and things take a totally different twist...it definitely kept me guessing and page turning all the way to the end! Incredible especially if you love suspense and like to be kept guessing!
