Mitch_Carter Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Not sure whether it's worth reading the book now I've seen the film, what are your opinions? Thanks, Mitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtjm Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think now that you have seen the film, it will make you appretiate the novel that much more because the film was leacking where the book is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I read the book last week. Unfortunately it was less suspensful than I thought it would be. It got more interesting in the end but that's when the book, well, ends. When you're not sure, if Teddy is one of the patients or if they're just trying to make him think he's a patient, so they can go on with their experiments.

SGM Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I keep meaning to read this but never get around to it. I want to read it before I see the movie, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Kocic Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I can't compel myself to watch the movie . I heard a lot of bad reviews and ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remy Porter Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 Dennis Lehane is one of my favourite authors. Shutter Island is inspired - The film was a pale shadow really, and even fiddled with the books ending to poor effect I thought. I'm surprised people haven't emphasized how brilliant Lehane's Kenzie-Gennaro series is; A Drink Before the War (1994) Darkness, Take My Hand (1996) Sacred (1997) Gone, Baby, Gone (1998) Prayers for Rain (1999) Moonlight Mile (2010) I haven't read the first or the last, but the rest are unmissable. Also loved the film version of Gone, Baby, Gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison10 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I thought that the book and film of Shutter Island were both really good, the film was very true to the book I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zumii Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I ordered my copy of the book the other day . Once things calm down at work & I have more time on my hands I can't wait to read it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tai_Mai_Shu Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm trying not to brag but I figured the ending halfway through the book so I kept reading to see if I was right and sure enough I was but still a good book nonetheless.

oceansoul Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I have both read the book and seen the movie. Couldn't put the book down. Loved it. The film was good, but not as good in my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtz Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I also think book was better than the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
