Like Gone Baby Gone and Shutter Island, Mystic River is a brilliant book turned into an equally brilliant movie. Heartbreaking all the way through.

three boys are asked to get in a car - only one gets in - and it changes the course of their lives forever...

sounds interesting, right? well, it could have been if lehane didn't beat around the bush and had just gotten to the meat of the book. but he didn't - and the book suffered...

    Good, but sad story.

    Loved the movie, so thought I'd read the book. I like the author's style of writing, and of course the story is very good.

    A recommendation by a friend, I loved the manner in which the narrative is structured. Quite engaging and well etched out characters.

    Really good book. Kept me guessing up until the very end. I didn't much care for the epilogue though. Didn't any anything of value for me to the story.

    Good but this is one of the rare occurences where the movie beat the book

    Mystic River is the perfect story. I've read it again and again.

    I enjoyed this and am still thinking about a day later. I have to admit, I figured out who killed Katie about halfway through.
