The Movie Was Better

Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane

October 7, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

So this book was okay, but the ending was a letdown especially since when you think about things in a logical way you realize that what was really going on was pretty dumb. The book drags a lot too. The movie managed to move things along quickly with a lot of great imagery. Lehane in this book though makes you go over and over things and you quickly get tired of the investigation. It’s not until the final reveal of things that the book gets […]

A Character Study in a Suspense Novel

Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane

August 27, 2019 by Jen K 1 Comment

I quite enjoy Dennis Lehane’s novel; I love The Given Day, quite like his Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro mysteries, and think Mystic River was amazingly written.  He doesn’t just write good mysteries, I also enjoy the writing itself. The novel begins with a prologue which reveals to the reader that when Rachel is 35, she kills her husband by shooting him.  The novel then goes back in time and slowly shows the reader how Rachel got to that day in her life, and what […]

Down the Rabbit Hole

Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane

March 28, 2019 by Zirza Leave a Comment

I fell for you because that’s what you do when you meet the woman whose face you want to be looking into when you die. You fall. And keep falling. And if you’re really lucky, she falls with you and then you never get back up again to where you were because if that was so great, you wouldn’t have needed to fall in the first place. Rachel Childs has not had the best childhood. Her mother was a famed psychologist and writer of self-help […]

The story of the Coughlin family begun in The Given Day continues …

Live By Night by Dennis Lehane

September 30, 2015 by TylerDFC 1 Comment

Live by Night is a crime saga focused on the characters, portraying them as more than one dimensional thugs. Most of them do what they do for a reason. Taking place in 1927, 8 years after the Boston Police strike, Live By Night shifts focus from Danny Coughlin to his youngest brother, Joe. Now 20 and an accomplished small time criminal, Joe falls for the wrong woman and it changes the trajectory of his life. Along the way he rubs elbows with real and fictional […]

“They never see you coming, do they?”

The Drop by Dennis Lehane

July 6, 2015 by TylerDFC Leave a Comment

Bob and Cousin Marv run a bar on the south side of Boston. Despite being called “Cousin Marv’s” it’s actually owned by the local Chechen gangsters. Because of this it’s used as a secure drop point for various bookmaking money in town so that the gangsters can collect it later. One night a couple of robbers stick up the bar for $5000 and the Chechens do not react well to this event. Bob inadvertently complicates the matter by giving the investigating cop, Detective Torres, a […]
