Review: Shutter Island

Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG. Now this is what you call a psychological thriller. A genre defining work. I was handsomely rewarded for resisting the urge to watch the awesome movie, based on this book, all these years. My god this is a great plot and excellent character development. Leaves breadcrumbs throughout, hides everything in plain sight, as if to prove all of us are blind, until we are told to open the goddamn eyes of ours. Oh my! Oh my!!Oh my!!!

This is a book, which if you haven't read, you have missed a truly remarkable thing in your life. A must read. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go ahead and watch that movie, which many people consider, is replete with Oscar worthy acting by Leonardo Di Caprio.
