I haven’t seen the movie yet, but the book is mind-bendin. If you’re looking for a page turner that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this is it. I also read Mystic River by the same author, Dennis Lehane. A good read, but not quite like this. What surprises me is that the movie has already come and gone in theatres without a huge amount of fanfare. The book is often better than the movie and this might be the case with Shutter Island.. however I’m finding that hard to believe. The cast seems a perfect fit and the mood created by Martin Scorsese is legendary.
If you get the opportunity please go see the movie. I thought it was exceptional and I cannot wait to see it again on DVD…
My husband and I saw Shutter Island….definitely worth seeing!! I agree with Nancy…it was exceptional!
The movie trailer for Shutter Island has my kids scampering from the room in a hurry! I don't think I could read it… any wonder where my kids get it from?
I can't believe you can find time to read!
I loved this book… it had me… it kept me wondering… I haven't seen the movie yet… I am always a little disappointed when the movie doesn't live up to the book….
