Laura's review of Gone, Baby, Gone
Gone, Baby, Gone by Dennis Lehane
Right after I read the book I saw the movie. I'm glad I read the book first. The movie wasn't awful, but it didn't have the same impact on me that the characters and story did on the page. I thought some of the casting was good, but I preferred the image I had of some characters before they were given to me on film.
Lehane's language is poetic. His dialoge masterful. The characters pop on the page. Everything is so vivid and raw. Even if there were times I found the direction of the story a little disappointing, the writing alone makes the book worth reading.
