Dennis Lehane appreciation thread anyone ?

Are "The Given Day" and "World Gone By" as good as "Live By Night' ? I really enjoyed Live By Night, around the middle of the novel I thought "now it's getting boring" and then after a few pages it became even better than the first half.

Any review of "The Drop" and/or "Since We Fell" ?

Apart from these ones that I don't know, I've enjoyed everything by him. Even "Coronado" was nice. And the Kenzie and Gennaro series really rocks, it's always darker than you expect.

So everybody's claiming to read the Western Cannon or is supposed to "start with the Greek", but nobody reads simple crime novels ? You're all pretending.

I've been putting off watching Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone because I want to read his stuff.

What's considered his best?

He wrote for The Wire which is pretty cool. I'd be willing to try one of his novels out. Haven't read much crime fiction other than Ellroy though. Where2start with him?

A Drink before the war would be the best to start, first volume of the Kenzie and Gennaro series. The whole series is excellent, I think Gone baby gone is the 4th or 5th.

Not too sure but most people would probably say that Mystic River and Shutter Island are his best novels.
