Shutter Island is a tremendously satisfying thriller. It plays games with your mind the whole way through, and is an exiting page turner. The suspense is incredible with a plot that will keep you guessing. I liked that it had some comedy to it and was not serious throughout the whole novel, and lightened the mood and made it an enjoyable read.

Chuck Aule: "All I know is it's a mental hospital."
Teddy Daniels: "...for the criminally insane."

It's a great mystery, and then there's that ending. I truly recommend it to anyone who loves mystery and suspense novels. I loved the book so much! It is everything I look for in a criminal fiction novel and covered all aspects off a thrilling page turner. I also look forward to watching the movie, with Leonardo DiCaprio portraying Teddy Daniels.
