I enjoyed this King entry in the Hard-Case Crime series. It is sort of a throw back for King reminding me of some of his coming of age stories such as The Body. It takes place in a second-rate amusement park in 1973 North Carolina. I especially enjoyed King's descriptions of "carny" life including the language used and life within a carnival. The novel contains elements of the supernatural and an unsolved murder case but overall this was a great coming of age novel. I would compare this with some of King's earlier best work including The Green Mile and Carrie. Strong recommendation for this one!
