A review by peytondani
Joyland by Stephen King

3.0

my overconfident ass was wrong about the twist, but what ended up being the actual reveal wasn’t all that impactful — though likely more impactful than the former possibility of having guessed it correctly halfway through. this story’s strength was the heart of it (Devin and Mike), everything else — the mystery of it all and all the carny culture — felt like fluff.
