Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane
3.0
TW: Racism, SA
Honestly, the plot was probably five stars, but the unnecessary racism, almost like he was trying to mimic One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest consistently took me out of the story. Then the back and forth towards the end on what a “n*****” is was just so wholly unnecessary. I also feel like it’s not as clear in the end and I liked the movie ending better. But c’est la vie.
