Shutter Island

Well, got through a book that I decided to read based on a movie. I actually thought that the movie was a fair representation of the book. The one point from the film on which I wanted clarity was completely avoided in the novel, much to my surprise.

I had also hoped to find another contemporary author whose books I could enjoy by default. I'm not sure that Lehane got there, but I enjoyed the writing style enough to want to pick another of his novels.

No real review on this one. Anyone can watch the film and get the story. Unlike a number of other books made into movies, you wouldn't get missing a lot. Lehane's writing is incredible in some places (reference my comment about the description of a migraine from an earlier update). That, alone, made it an enjoyable read.
