U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new Âpartner, Chuck Aule, have come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, to investigate the disappearance of a patient. Multiple-murderess Rachel Solando is loose somewhere on this barren island, despite having been kept in a locked cell under constant surveillance. 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 made in the cause of a covert shadow war. No one is going to escape Shutter Island unscathed, because nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is remotely what it seems. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Shutter IslandVery suspenceful and you have a hard time putting it down. The ending did blow me away. Was not what I expected at all.

Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio gets the star roll of Dennis Lehane's bestseller, so that means you have to appreciate it! Right? Or is it simply a case where Dennis Lehane is actually that good at what he does? Let's just put it this way...I'm not exactly the world's biggest Leonardo DiCaprio fan, so I wasn't about to watch the movie until I read the book. And I was treated to a great psychological thriller with ... Read More Rating: - Couldn't put it downI was fascinated by this book from the moment I picked it up. It was unlike anything I had read recently and kept me rivoted until the end. Ah, the end....totally unexpected, and I am usually really good at getting the subtleties and twists that make up the plots of mysteries. This one left me stunned. Rating:  - The book is "allways" better.If you are wanting to read this book because you loved the movie. The book is almost a word for word. 2 more interviews when they investigating. No more details revealed. I think if you read this book first you are better off or you could just see the movie.
