SHUTTER ISLAND (Dennis Lehane) - February 7/10

Wow. This is an incredibly entertaining read that boasts a twist ending I seriously did not see coming at all. Lehane offers up an incredibly cinematic story that moves at an impressively brisk clip, and it's worth noting that every time the story starts to slow down a bit, Lehane throws in another electrifying interlude or an out-of-left-field twist that instantly recaptures one's interest. ***1/2 out of ****
