About this ebook

The basis for the blockbuster motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Shutter Island by New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane is a gripping and atmospheric psychological thriller where nothing is quite what it seems. The New York Times calls Shutter Island, “Startlingly original.” The Washington Post raves, “Brilliantly conceived and executed.” A masterwork of suspense and surprise from the author of Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone, Shutter Island carries the reader into a nightmare world of madness, mind control, and CIA Cold War paranoia and is unlike anything you’ve ever read before.

If you really cant make it to page 40 of this book without being hooked, maybe you should stick to short stories ;) I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The ending is fu*cking insane. Well worth the money

This book is mind blowing. After I finished it, I could not get it out of my head, thinking back, looking for clues or context to come to terms with the ending. Shockingly good read.

Normally consume high science fiction.. Think enders game, Hyperion, etc... This though, this makes name rethink what I enjoy most out of a book. Storytelling is excellent. Am buying more Lehane books ASAP. Seriously. It's that good.
