This was a great book. It's just kind of sad that it took my 5 years to finally read it. My bad.
My husband's been telling me how awesome this book is for the last 5 years, and it finally took seeing a poster for the movie by Martin Scorcese with Leonardo DiCaprio's face on it for me to say, oh yeah, that's a book, I should probably read that before seeing the movie.
And I'm glad they did make the film, or else I never would have known how awesome the book is. I think it may have taken me this long based on Dennis Lehane's past novels, mainly "Mystic River", which turned me off to reading "Shutter Island", but it's really nothing like his other novels.
I will say, it's quite sad when you finally take the time to reflect on the story. It's part mystery, part thriller, part horror in a small way, but hugely romantic, just not in a Nicholas Sparks kind of way.
I will also mention that the last chapter, 25, I still don't understand. I liked it all the way until the last chapter. It's just a little confusing, at least for me it was.
Now I have to wait for my husband to reread the book to explain the last chapter to me. I hope it doesn't take him 5 years.
