Illustrations are Great

Stephen King's compelling story telling keep you hooked the whole way through. The illustrations are numerous and well placed within the text - and add to the experience. The narrator of the story, Devon Jones, reflects on a summer from his youth when he worked at an amusement park, Joyland. Yes, there is a ghost, but the story is really about Devon coming of age in the early 70s on the east coast and an unsolved murder.Read full review

Joyland

Not the typical Steven King fare but it is a behind the scenes look at the life of carnival workers with a favor only King could give
