Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh how I loved this book! I'm not usually in the mood for dense language, but Stevens' first-person narration hit the perfect note for me. I loved reading between the lines of what he chose to reveal. The emotional tension between Stevens and Miss Kenton, and within Stevens himself as he reflects on his life in service, is just sublime.

Shutter Island | Dennis Lehane

This #plottwist really threw me for a loop!!! I've watched the movie but never read the book so I think it will be my selection for #popsugar2018 prompt #bookmadeintoamovieyouvealreadyseen 😄

Cinfhen Oooh, nice choice! 7y

Reviewsbylola I think I really liked the book but I can‘t remember. 😂 7y

cherinium I just mentioned this book the other day! I was really not enjoying this book at all until the plot twist was revealed. Then, I realized what master manipulator Lehane had been. For me, the twist turned a 2-3 star book into a definite 5! This book is one of the reasons I still have so much trouble bailing on a book I'm not enjoying. I always ask myself, "what if its like Shutter Island, and the ending completely blows my mind?" ??? 7y

cherinium BTW, I really wish there as the option to edit my comment... I'm embarrassed at my typos in that one. 😳 7y

emilyhaldi @cherinium If you click on your comment an option should pop up to edit!! But no worries on this one bc the typos don‘t bother me at all! I can see why you might have been a little bored by this one but the plot twist really does blow your mind, right?! I‘m excited to read the book knowing the twist beforehand to see how well the beginning is crafted 🙌🏻 7y

cherinium @emilyhaldi I keep meaning to reread the book to see if my opinion of the beginning of the book changes with the knowledge of the twist, but there are many other things to read first. And on the topic of editing, I do get an option to edit when it's my own post, but whenever I click on a comment on someone else's post, I'm only given options to delete or mark as a spoiler--no edit option. 7y

ephemeralwaltz Love this - both the book and movie. I have to say the book left me a bit underwhelmed... This is an exceptional case of movie better than the book! 7y

Mdargusch Interesting @ephemeralwaltz since that doesn‘t happen very often. 7y

GripLitGrl Loved this one! 7y
