jeremymorrison 's review for:

Mystic River by Dennis Lehane

4.0

---

Every Saturday, back in the seventies, two men who live outside of Boston get together for drinks: Sean’s father, foreman of a chocolate factory who hosts up on the Point, and Jimmy’s father, a truck loader who lives down in the flats. The boy’s tight bond is challenged when two kidnappers take the boy’s tag along friend Dave. The forces of economic differences, time, and violence shape their adulthood, the material of the rest of the book.
