Book Review of Joyland

Joyland
Author: Stephen King
Genre: Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 7 more book reviews


This is the second Stephen King novel I've read (the first being "Revival"). Like the other novel, this is an easy read with dots of humor that I appreciate. Overall the story is boringly slow with only small bits here and there that are important enough to remember. The story does have a decent twist at the end and the conclusion satisfactory, but the journey there could have used a fast pass. I liked the book but wouldn't widely recommend it as a top thriller, horror, or anything for that matter.
