ReviewsNightmarish…it's not a book to start before bedtime. Even if you finish before dawn, Shutter Island will trouble your sleep., Startlingly original…instantly cinematic…unfolds with increasing urgency until it delivers a visceral shock in its final moments., "Shutter Island carries an ending so shocking yet so faithful to what has come before, that it will go down as one of the most aesthetically right resolutions ever written. . . . There are mysteries within mysteries in this novel, some as obvious as the numerical codes that the missing patient leaves behind... some as deep as the most profound fears of the human heart. There is no mystery, however, about how good this book is; like Mystic River, it's a tour de force." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Lehane has crafted a thriller as exciting as an elaborate video game. . . . .If you like books that will make great movies, then this one is for you." - People "pure adrenaline rush...chilling...Shutter Island is all about pulling you in and not letting go until its shocking, wrenching conclusion. At that point, exhausted and thrilled, you want to start over...Lehane works claustrophobia so well you can practically feel the walls closing in, giving Shutter Island a dark, disturbing atmosphere of mortal danger and creeping paranoia...The ride this novel provides is as good as entertainment gets." - Miami Herald "The ride this novel provides is as good as entertainment gets." - Miami Herald "Fasten your seat belts for a bumpy, breakneck ride...utterly absorbing... is an express train with no local stops...engrossing." - Boston Globe "If we could bring back Edgar Allen Poe and equip him with today's postmodern bag of tricks, he might give us a tale as unexpected and unsettling as Shutter Island. . . . The novel is brilliantly conceived and executed. . . . Its shocking outcome kept me awake, deep into the night as I began to grasp what the author had done to my innocent mind." - Washington Post Book World "A moody, atmospheric mystery that combines the claustrophobia of an Agatha Christie whodunit with the creepiness of a good Stephen King yarn. . . . Good luck putting this one down." - San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "Combines the claustrophobia of . . . Agatha Christie . . . with the creepiness of a good Stephen King yarn. . . . Good luck putting this one down. - San Francisco Chronicle Book Review "Welcome to the Twilight Zone, circa 1954...Shutter Island is atmospheric and tension-fraught, and Lehane continues to write like a demon angel...With its nightmarish overtones, it's not a book to start before bedtime.
