***Crime Island A real page turner for me. When I started reading I couldn't put it down. The plot is a little bit complicated but at the same time engaging and surprising. As well as the characters. The detectives arrive at the Island to figure out the case of missing patient from mental hospital...

Normally when dealing with movies that are based on books, I try to read the book first then see the movie. For whatever reason I didn’t do this with Shutter Island.

I liked this one, but I saw the movie first and really liked the movie. It's hard to separate those images from the descriptions in the book, and I felt like the descriptions really lacked substance and the imagery needed to truly feel the story. They stuck really close to the book with the movie, a...
