The narrator of Jimmie Dale Gilmore's perfect tune Dallas" is coming to town as a broke dreamer with the bright lights of the big city on his mind.

Boisterous, ribald, and ultimately shattering, Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest has left an indelible mark on the literature of our time. Turning conventional notions of sanity and insanity on their heads, the novel tells the unforgettable story of a mental ward and its inhabitants, especially tyrannical Big Nurse Ratched and Randle Patrick McMurphy, the brawling, fun-loving new inmate who resolves to oppose her.

It is autumn 1981 when inconceivable horror comes to Blackeberg, a suburb in Sweden. The body of a teenager is found, emptied of blood, the murder rumored to be part of a ritual killing. Twelve-year-old Oskar is personally hoping that revenge has come at long last—revenge for the bullying he endures at school, day after day. But the murder is not the most important thing on his mind. A new girl has moved in next door—a girl who has never seen a Rubik's Cube before, but who can solve it at once. There is something wrong with her, though, something odd. And she only comes out at night.

Excellent choice!
This story is so intricate and complex. It isn't just a straight line with a curve at the end, its a collection of dynamics and moving parts that set the story in motion; PTSD, federal agents, concentration camps, moral ambiguity in war and medicine. Many elements which cannot be completely grasped by one person in one life, but glimpsed by many in this one book.

Narrator is What Made This Absolutely Spectacular!
This was the absolute best narrator I believe I have ever heard! I could tell the different characters before he was able to identify them for me. He LIVED each and every part and you could hear it in his voice.
The book itself was also without fail. It was well written and intriguing, to say the least. Spellbinding. Made me think, but didn't confuse me. I will definitely be checking into this author and narrator for more from them both. It's lengthy, but worth every minute. Worth your time for sure!

Great performance and story, poor editing.
The performance and the story were great. But the editing could use some work. For one, the chapters don't line up at all. There are 24 chapters in the book but it's only broken into 12 chapters or so here. Second, some chapter transitions are very abrupt, others have too long of a pause. Sometimes the reader gets much louder for a few seconds and not because he's yelling or anything of the sort.

This place makes me wonder...
Dennis Lehane its probably the best noir writer currently working and this is a masterpiece of storytelling and atmosphere.
Dark and gritty, Shutter Island is a masterfull detective story, that even if you saw Scorcese movie it's worth listening to this one.
Just dont expect the best quote of the movie to be there...

Keeps you riveted until the end
I am an avid reader and listen to a lot of audiobooks because of my long commutes. There are very few that I would recommend as highly as this one. The opening was a little slow but once the reader is ushered into Shutter Island,the narrative moves at a quick pace, taking you on a psychological thrill ride that keeps you guessing. The narrator does a great job of illuminating the characters. This is not a typical predictable read!

Great Listen!
I really enjoyed this book! The narrative was vivid and engaging, and I was drawn into the world on Shutter Island completely. I know that this is a popular movie, and normally I would read rather than watch the story but I do want to see what the movie version lools like -- the mood was so much a part of the story. The narration was wonderful -- would recommend to anyone for a great weekend read/listen.

Creepy!
This was an extremely entertaining listen. Honestly, this is one of those books I'm glad I listened to versus reading. Very dramatic, lots of atmosphere, with plenty of good, creepy twists. The narrator was superb. My only complaint is the lack of depth. Defines scary ride. 3.5 stars
