Lehane was one of the writers for The WIRE. Two other great writers, Richard Price and George Pelecanos also wrote episodes. It was the best tv series ever in large part because of the great writing.

[...] The Given Day by Dennis Lehane. This book blew me away. It’s not for the faint of heart, seeing as how it’s a whopping 702 pages, but I thought the story was well-crafted and worth the investment. This book made me want to read everything else that Dennis Lehane has written. [...]

Dennis Lehane is by far one of my FAVORITE authors. I have been hooked with his since his Patrick/Angie series and it escalates with MYSTIC RIVER (still one of the best novels ever written, I think) and SHUTTER ISLAND. It takes him 6 years to come up with this and seriously, after reading your reviews, it just reconfirms that this is going to be on my to-buy list. Even if I rarely buy books in hardcover

I too am a HUGE fan of Dennis Lehane and absolutely loved his series which included Gone Baby Gone, Drink before the war etc. I am very disappointed though that he never continued on with this series. I loved the characters and wish that he would have . After I read all them I actually went out and bought the series so that I would have them to reread.
Anyway’s I always recommend him to others he is FABULOUS!!!

Shutter Island is one of the greatest book’s I’ve read. The Patrick Kenzie novels are all wonderful, but try to read them in order!

I still haven’t read of his books. I thought both Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone were great so the books had to be wonderful source material. Perhaps I’m a bit afraid of reading them. After all, if I thought the books were great on-screen what will my imagination do with scenes that weren’t in the movies?

I’ve never read Dennis Lehane, but I really liked the film versions of both Gone Baby Gone and Mystic River. I’m thinking I’ll have to read him one of these days, because he certainly sounds like an engaging writer and an interesting guy.
