Shutter Island
Dennis Lehane
HarperTorch, 2004
Too Smart for My Own Good
+ fun and intriguing read
I solved the anagram on page 205 and from that I predicted the entire last half of the story. LeHane should have hidden such a revelatory clue a little better.

Lisey's Story: A Novel
Stephen King
Pocket, 2007
grabbed my imagination all the way through
+ Stephen King in poetic, introspective mode
+ longtime loyal KING fan

... guess not..
I wonder ...

This was the first Stephen King book that I ever read. I saw it at a 2nd hand store and figured for $5 I couldn't go wrong. Well I have to say when I opened it that night after work I could not put it down! This book was amazing! The intese details paint a perfect picture. Definately a good read.
