Title: My oh My!
Product review: I justed finished Mystic River by Dennis Lehane and all I can say is My oh My! The best thing about this book is that it is so well written. Lehane is a step above many other current mystery writers because is writes well and tells an incredible story at the same time. He, along with Crais, Connelly, and Coben really are a cut above because they write so darn well. Add Pelecanos to that same list as well.The bad about this book is the "heavy" content. I had forgotten how well Lehane tells it like it is. I haven't been so depressed after a book since I read Lehane's first A DRINK BEFORE THE WAR. There is no sugar coating here. Lehane's content is graphic, poignant, and at times upsetting. It isn't content that is hard to believe, I just hate to admit to myself that there really are some sick and disturbed people in this world. Perhaps the truth he tells, even when you know it is truth, is very hard to stomach.Not for the light hearted, but still a very wonderful read.
