Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: http://shouldbereading.wordpress.com
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
Shutter Island

'She said once that time is nothing to me but a series of bookmarks that I use to jump back and forth the text of my life, returning again and again to the events that mark me, in the eyes of my more astute colleagues, as bearing all the characteristics of the classic melancholic.'
It's always interesting to see which lines different people choose to highlight from this book. I hope you like(d) it! My post: How to Wash a Cat
ReplyDeleteOh I do like this teaser and makes me want to read this novel more than I did. I am queuing it in my shopping cart. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/04/teaser-tuesdays-skin-and-bones.html
ReplyDeleteOooh! The book's already on my wishlist. My teaser is from The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett.
ReplyDeleteI love Lehane's work. I'm afraid to see the movie because I like the book so much.
ReplyDeleteHere's my teaser.
I love your teaser.
ReplyDeleteHere is mine

After reading this again, it is amazing how much this is a foreshadowing of the end. Great teaser.
ReplyDeleteLove the teaser!
ReplyDeleteTeaser Tuesdays:
Great teaser! I haven't read Lehane before, but sounds like I should.
ReplyDeleteMine is here
sounds like I'd enjoy this one
ReplyDeleteHere's mine
I don't think I'll read this one - if it's like the movie, too scary :)
ReplyDeleteJust saw your "librarything" widget - will have to check that out.
HERE is my teaser for this week.
Wow, great teaser! I have two teasers this week at The Crowded Leaf.
ReplyDeleteThe book cover looks intriguing.
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is up`
Great teaser! Unfortunately I didn't know this was a book and I've cheated and saw the movie already lol. Here's mine: http://onlysexybooksallowed.blogspot.com/2010/04/teaser-tuesday-2.html
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser...might have to read it before I rent it.
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is at BookSake.
Hope you enjoyed the book. Just from other's reviews, I'm not sure this would be a book I would read.
ReplyDeleteMy teaser and contest link is here
This one is a big mistake for me.... I saw the movie first and didn't care for it. Kind of killed the book for me.

I've been kicking around the idea of reading this book. Never saw the movie. Thanks for the teaser! Here's my teaser!
ReplyDeleteI have been seeing the previews for the movie Shutter Island . A friend saw and recommended. Would you say it would be better to read the book first? Always like these psychological thrillers.
ReplyDeleteMy TT is for A Woman in Berlin . Link Summit Musings
Cool writing. Awesome choice. I'm scared of this book/movie.
ReplyDeleteNeat teaser! I read this a while ago and I'm still not sure I really understand what was real and what was not. My teaser is here.
ReplyDeleteThis makes even more sense now that I've seen the end of the movie.... although I haven't read the book, I know, naughty naughty! :)
ReplyDeleteMy teaser's at http://hampshireflyer.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/teaser-tuesday-12/
I want to read this book and then go to the movie. Great teaser!
ReplyDeleteI'm about ready to read "The Book Thief." It's on my table to read next. My Tuesday Teaser is from another Markus Zusak book. Have you read it?

I hope you are enjoying Shutter Island. I have yet to read any of Dennis Lehane's books although I've heard Mystic River is fantastic too.
ReplyDeleteHere is my teaser
Love this book! The twist at the end is super shocking. The movie is very well-done, too! Here's my teaser.
ReplyDeleteThis one is definitely on my TBR list. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy teaser is here.
Hey, I just posted my review of Day For Night by Frederick Reiken at The Crowded Leaf if you're interested!
ReplyDeleteGreat teaser! :-) How fun :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great teaser and the cover is wild! Hope you're enjoying your book.
ReplyDeleteOh I so want to read this book! That teaser just makes it all the more mysterious to me.
