A review by dj68
Joyland by Stephen King
5.0
I really don't know how King does it, again and again turning out a great novel, even when it's rather short. His characters - both the bad and the good guys - are so true to life and scaringly relatable in many ways.
King knows people and humanity and I like that he doesn't shy away from the ugly sides of life and that he, at the same time, has a great love for humans and the utmost respect for their struggles.
Though not scary, Joyland provides deep insights and tons of quotable phrases on every page and leaves you teary-eyed with sadness and, yes, joy.
