Review: Absolutely gripping! This was one of the only times that I had seen the movie before reading the book. After reading this story I was shocked by just how closely the movie did follow the book. Both were incredibly suspenseful and entertaining.
Shutter Island is a fast paced read that you don't want to put down. The twist in this psychological thriller keeps you guessing right up until the end and even after that. But everyone's mind is going to interpret it as they will (the movie will leave less to the imagination). In this case I recommend both the movie and the book, but if you don't like spoilers check out the book first.
Synopsis: Teddy Daniels is a detective sent to Shutter Island to search for a missing patient who vanished from the asylum and it would seem, off the island itself. A storm maroons Daniels and his partner for longer than he originally thought. He begins to unearth some strange stories from the patients about illegal experiments and other disappearances. Soon Daniels realizes that if he doesn't escape it could be him next.
