Rachel's story broke my heart especially, since she trusted her parents to care for her in all things. At that point, I wasn't sure who to support! That is to say that I liked Teddy, but I could also understand Chuck's concern for him!ĭolores also intrigued me and I would have loved to see her character more developed. Chuck's ability to keep his true identity a secret from Teddy until midway through the book when telling the truth became necessary surprised me. I think particularly of the surprising character of Teddy and how one could root for him and hate him simultaneously towards the book's end. What did y'all think for those who have read it? For those who have not, do you plan to read it and why or why not? How does the movie compare, as I have not seen it? If you haven't seen the movie like I have not, do you plan to do that? If you have, what did you love and hate about it? How accurate was it to the book, really? Dennis Lehane left me not knowing what to think and I am still pondering the book!! That said, I read the book recently due to my interest in psychology, psychological thrillers, WWII history, and Max Richter's music being featured in the movie.wow. You'll probably want to read more of Dennis Lehane's work, too, as I did!
I will say each one is gripping and Dennis Lehane manages to make each one relatable, even though their situation is unique! Be warned: you may walk away feeling uncertain how to perceive the book. Heads up: I'm also being somewhat vague about the characters to avoid spoiling anything for folks who have neither read the book nor seen the movie. I also deleted the original post to avoid confusion, so here goes!
One of the mods told me I should add more detail to my post, so I honored her request and did just that.
