Wow. I just discovered what an amazing writer Dennis Lehane is this year after reading Mystic River. The Beacon Hill branch had this book on their "Staff Recommends" shelf and I noticed the author, then the title. I didn't know he also wrote Shutter Island (and Gone, Baby Gone). If you're like me, you've seen the movies of his books but didn't know how amazing the books are. Do yourself a favor and read him. Shutter Island is a fascinating tale of surpise, intrigue, government conspiracy, and insanity all taking place on a dark and lonely island. The way he puts words together makes me stop sometimes and reread it just for the pleasure of treating my brain again to the gift of the sound of those syllables together.
