I tossed a coin. It came up "Shutter Island." Now I need to figure out why I had a coin with titles on it.

I've always thought of Shutter Island as a "scary" movie (and avoided it as such), based on the promos. I hope I can get through the book.

I've already started the book and the first chapters follow along pretty closely to the film so far.

In my opinion that makes you lucky as it would be a lot more enjoyable reading the book without knowing what all happens.

The film wasn't really "scary" per se, not like a horror film or even a really scary thriller (like Silence of the Lambs). The atmosphere is cool and creepy (a foggy island that houses an asylum for the criminally and violently insane) but I'd say the film is more creepy mystery-thriller than horror-thriller, with a few jolts here and there.

I've been number one on the wait list for a while now so it should come in any day. I will at least start reading it, but I'm not sure I'll read the whole book before discussion starts. We'll see...

Can't get this one from the eLibraries, but I've purchased it. I was always intending to buy it anyway.

Yay!
