Shutter Island

The plot of Shutter Island has the reader captivated until the end. The main character, Teddy (Edward) Daniels, is a federal marshall who goes to investigate a dissapearnce at a hospital for the criminally insane. There, Teddy, along with his partner Chuck, being to be sucked into a world of lies, decit,and undercover government ops. There are many rumors about the island, and all of them scare the marshalls. However, Teddy was not randomly assigned to the case, he has a lot of personal connection to it. His wife, Dolores, was killed in a fire a few years back, by arsenist Andrew Laeddis. Laeddis had supposedly been sent to Shutter Island for crimes of the sort, and Teddy wants to track him down and get revenge. As the story moves on, the plot thickens, and there is a surprize ending. I would reccomend this book to people who like thrillers. It is a little slow at parts, but overall a good book. The ending is the best part of the book, because it can be interpreted in different ways, depending on who is reading it.
