Very unpredictable story.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Lehane's Shutter Island. The characters are very interesting and keep you in suspense -- what next!!! I have read both Mystic River and Shutter Island and really enjoyed the latter much more. I did not pick up on the clues in the story and never guessed how it would end. This does tend to be a horror story with no ghosts or supernatural types. Since it takes place in a mental institution, this makes it even more intriguing and mysterious. I really enjoyed reading this book and look forward to more of Lehane's books.

fun and intriguing read

This is the second Lehane I have read, following Mystic River (before the movie came out), and I wasn't at all disappointed. The theme of this book is very different from Mystic River in that it is less realistic, but I found myself buzzing right through it. I was always looking to figure out the next turn. I am a person who bores with books very easily (I can't even count the number of books I have read half of), but this book really kept my attention and interest. The end, when everything is pulled together, is pretty brilliant as well. Looking forward to Scorcese's movie.

Too Smart for My Own Good

I solved the anagram on page 205 and from that I predicted the entire last half of the story. LeHane should have hidden such a revelatory clue a little better. It is like a major spoiler right in the middle of the story, making the last half a bit of a chore instead of the breathless progression it was intended to be. The finale still stung my heart, but if I had learned the twists when they were properly revealed, I would have called this story a masterpiece.

In a masterful departure from the Boston-based hard-boiled mysteries he's known for, New York Times bestselling author Lehane (Mystic River) offers an atmospheric psychological thriller set in a 1950s asylum for the criminally insane. In 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule, have come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital, to investigate the disappearance of a murderer, Rachel Solando, loose somewhere on the remote and barren island. As a killer hurricane bears relentlessly down on them, a strange case takes on even darker, more sinister shades with hints of radical experimentation, horrifying surgeries, and lethal countermoves. Nothing is what it seems and Teddy begins to doubt everything his memory, his partner, even his own sanity. Description in Spanish: Verano de 1954.
