Mystic River by Dennis Lehane

4.25

challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An extremely well written tragic book. I didn't know what to expect going in, and am glad I persevered through the slow parts. I definitely had some name-blindness as so many characters were introduced at once, and the point of view changes from paragraph to paragraph. Overall, I'd recommend it. TRIGGER WARNING SPOILER: As a note, I didn't find any of the molestation to be graphic, which I was worried about.
