After suffering through the Dan Brown’s Inferno, I was about ready to give up reading for awhile.That is, until I purchased Stephen King’s Joyland. A complete JOY to read!
The master of scary stories brings us something a little different this time. We are introduced into the world of Amusement Parks and the carnies who work there. The novel gives us a fascinating mixture of mystery, suspense, and tragedy. There is even romance thrown into the pot. I truly enjoyed the read, and I would strongly recommend the book to anyone who enjoys a great story. If I was to rate the book I would give it five out of five stars.
Kings versatility is astounding.
How do you feel about Ray Bradbury?
I used to read a lot of Bradbury back in high school. While other kids were chasing girls, I was reading books…can you spell N.E.R.D.? Haven’t read his work in years.
So that’s how you write dark stuff. I’ve read a few of King’s books, but not for years. Got another Lee Child review coming.
