Glad I read the book
I saw the movie and had trouble putting the plot together. The book made the story understandable. Good book to read. His words flow like ours ... clear and easy. Just ordered Shutter Island...hope it's as good.
Wonderful
This book was so intense and it was so tragic all at the same time. I cared about all the characters and could understand their emotions well. This is my second Dennis Lehane book (Shutter Island was first) and I have to say, both of his books I've read were absolutely perfect. He doesn't waste tons of pages on useless words - he can say something so powerful in few words - and that is something I appreciate. I hate to read long winded descriptions of mundane things - and Lehane is most certainly not verbose. Wonderful book - I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed. I listened to this book in audio book format, and the reader was absolutely brilliant!
What a Book !
The good news is that Mystic River is great on so many levels, great plot,
characters you can identify with, extremely well written, holds your interest till the end, and on and on. The bad news is that it is such a great book that if you are like me and kind of undisciplined, you end up not being able to do much of anything else till you finish the book. Unqualifed recommendation. Five stars all the way.
