Title: grim - depressing - bleak
Product review: I was a fan of Dennis Lehane and looked forward to Mystic River. Then I started the book and I realized he'd abandoned the Kenzie and Gennaro characters. I hated it; I didn't finish it; the unrelieved hopelessness and angst of these lives gave me a headache. Was this a movie-to-book commission? Hope the Hollywood money was worth it. I probably won't bother with another Lehane book. But, hey, Dennis - now the celebrities are gushing Mystic River is the very best book they've ever read in their whole lives - so who needs the readers who've been buying your books for years.
