I wish I read this before seeing the movie.

4 stars

I've read a few of this author's books and enjoyed them all, but I found Shutter Island to be the most suspenseful and poignant, even having seen the movie previously. I wish I'd been able to read it without knowing the ending (and without seeing DiCaprio's face the whole time), might have been a totally different experience.
