Product Description
The year is 1954. U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new Âpartner, Chuck Aule, have come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, to investigate the disappearance of a patient. Multiple-murderess Rachel Solando is loose somewhere on this barren island, despite having been kept in a locked cell under constant surveillance. As a killer hurricane bears relentlessly down on them, a strange case takes on even darker, more sinister shades—with hints of radical experimentation, horrifying surgeries, and lethal countermoves made in the cause of a covert shadow war. No one is going to escape Shutter Island unscathed, because nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is remotely what it seems. … More >>
Shutter Island
The story was a little confusing, I constantly had to reread the prologue to try to figure out what exactly was happening and who the characters were. The story was suspenseful and interesting but the ending was a complete cop out. I would never buy another book by this author. Its just like any other psychological thriller, confusing and unsolvable. Rating: 1 / 5
This book was so bad I could not finish it. The characters are boring, the story is boring, the plot is boring. There is absolutely no incentive to care about the story and keep reading it. About two thirds through I stopped wasting my time and wished I had my money back. The dialogue is lifeless, The story line is numb. I am amazed at the good reviews listed on Amazon because I found this book to be unsuspensful, uninteresting and unbelievable. Rating: 1 / 5
I bought this book on a friend’s recommendation. If I had been in a book store and could have read a page or two I would have known immediately it was not the type of book I would read. I’m sure it’s wonderful for those who like it. I passed it on to a friend. Rating: 1 / 5
What a pile of crap. Seriously, do not buy this book. I kept waiting and waiting for it to get “creepy” and/or “chilling” or even “intriguing” It never did and the big pay off at the end is so predictable and goes out with a whimper.
What a waste of paper. Rating: 1 / 5
The book’s condition was fine, only had a pencilled signature on the title page which was easily erased. I was a little bothered that it took so long to get here. After I ordered it, I was informed 21 days til delivery was “not uncommon.” When the book did arrive, it had a return address of another bookseller. Did bordeebooks get my order, order from another source, and then send it to me after leading me to believe they had it all along? If that’s the case, or if I’d known it could have taken up to 3 weeks to get the book, I would have chosen another seller.
