rating:
I read Mystic River long ago enough that I can't remember specifically what I liked about it. But I do remember that I fell in love with the writing. It was almost enough to make me interested in reading more American crime novelists. However, James Patterson is so bad that Dennis Lehane may well be the only American crime novelist I ever read. And with stuff this good, I'm not sure that's a bad thing.
Dennis Lehane writes so well that I can occasionally forget that I'm reading.
Yes, he writes about the ugliest parts of humanity. But he does so in a way that makes you think about it, rather than showing you a bloody crime scene. His focus is more on the impact of the crime than the gore.
