Much better than the movie!!
Lehane is one of best. Keeps you on the dge of your seat wondering what new clue or secret will be revealed next with a mind blowing conclusion.
Very, very weird. So much severe mental illness. Usually a fan of Lehane’s books, but this is an outlier.
One of my all-time favorites, I’ve read it 3 times and watched the movie twice. I can’t get enough of this beautifully crafted novel. I keep re-reading it to try to figure out the clues!
I felt manipulated at the end.
Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane was the first psychological thriller I ever read. It was unpredictable and kept me on my toes to the very end!
One of the best books I’ve ever read. You’ll want to read it more than once to figure out the ending!
Have enjoyed all his books. Dark but keep me waiting for the next one!
Creepy but good… never know what If any of the story is real…
