Life is Not Always a Butcher's Game. Sometimes the Prizes Are Real. Sometimes They're Precious. All-time best-selling author STEPHEN KING returns with a novel of carny life—and death... College student Devin Jones took the summer job at Joyland hoping to forget the girl who broke his heart. But he wound up facing something far more terrible: the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and dark truths about life—and what comes after—that would change his world forever. A riveting story about love and loss, about growing up and growing old—and about those who don't get to do either because death comes for them before their time—JOYLAND is Stephen King at the peak of his storytelling powers. With all the emotional impact of King masterpieces such as The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, JOYLAND is at once a mystery, a horror story, and a bittersweet coming-of-age novel, one that will leave even the most hard-boiled reader profoundly moved.

Jag gillade den för det mesta, och hade kanske egentligen velat sätta 4/5, men faktumet att bokens första halva mest kändes som en nöjesfältssimulator (aka handbok i att jobba på nöjesfält) så måste jag dra ner betyget. Även på grund av att Stephen King har någon sorts åkomma vilket gör att han MÅSTE beskriva brösten på kvinnliga karaktärer. Han måste bara, helt enkelt. Jag blir lite orolig.
