adorará Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se gostará deste livro. Het boek heeft best wel verrassende wendingen en je word wel in spanning gehouden omdat het verhaal ook vrijwel meteen spannend begint. Helaas is het af en toe wel een beetje warrig geschreven waardoor je er niet echt wijs uit word wat de figuren met elkaar te maken hebben. Kortom: Ik zou hem niet aanbevelen maar ook niet afraden. Het is een leuk tussendoortje (  ) nightvamp | Nov 10, 2009 |  Dennis Lehane is a terrific writer and this is a gripping suspense/mystery novel, and ultimately, a heart-breaking story. So very well written. (  ) CarmenOhio | Oct 11, 2009 | succulent! boch | Sep 12, 2009 | I’m not a big fan of inner city police procedurals. Sometimes gritty realism just gets me down. And brutal murders and child molestation are not themes I enjoy. But Dennis Lehane is one hell of a writer, and this work transcends the genre so much that I’ll make sure I read more of his work. All his characters have real depth, and real flaws, and Lehane’s descriptions of their inner turmoil are often so eloquent that I frequently found myself reading paragraphs two or three times -- not for comprehension, but because they were so well written. The mystery itself was not that spectacular. I pretty well knew who did what and how things would end. Lehane’s quality writing made it worthwhile to read on until the tragedy reached its inevitable conclusion. There are flickers of redemption at the end of the book, at least for a couple of the characters. Whether they are deserved is left up to the reader. (  ) wdwilson3 | Sep 10, 2009 | Definitely a great story - but not a great book. Lehane just doesn't know when to put down his pen. There are too many self-consciously "literary" passages that are not well enough written to pass muster. Take out 50-100 pages and this would be a classic.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0380731851, Mass Market Paperback)When they were children, Sean Devine, Jimmy Marcus, and Dave Boyle were friends. But then a strange car drove up their street. One boy got in the car, two did not, and something terrible happened -- something that ended their friendship and changed all three boys forever. Twenty-five years later, Sean is a homicide detective. Jimmy is an ex-con. And Dave is trying to hold his marriage together and keep his demons at bay-demons that urge him to do horrific things. When Jimmy's daughter is found murdered, Sean is assigned to the case. His investigation brings him into serious conflict with Jimmy. And then there is Dave, who came home covered in someone else's blood the night Jimmy's daughter died. While Sean attempts to use the law to return peace and order to the neighborhood, Jimmy finds his need for vengeance pushing him ever closer to a moral abyss from which he won't be able to return. A tense and unnerving psychological thriller, Mystic River is also an epic novel of love, loyalty, faith, and family.
