Looking for some good summer reading? try Dennis Lehane
I just started Shutter Island. What a read! LeHane wrote Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone. Shutter Island is scheduled to be released as a movie in October with Martin Scorsese directing. Lehane is just such a gifted writer. I plan on reading all of his works this summer.

3. I loved Shutter Island
It'll be interesting to see how they make it a movie. But hey, Scorsese!

they're both great. His crime novels are fantastic, and there are at least a half dozen of them :thumbsup:
