A nostalgic feeling coming of age drama with hints of suspense. Reading this makes you feel like your own summer is coming to a close as the fair comes to town and your last chance to see some friends and shoot your shot at your crush arrive once more. I respect King for exploring different genres every once in a while, and I’m always pleasantly surprised when I read anything slightly raunchy coming from him—not to say Joyland is filled with it. This will definitely get picked up and adapted into a miniseries or film.
