Joyland by Stephen King
4.0
**Review based on audiobook version**
While cataloged as a "mystery," the true beauty of Joyland is its language and character development. A truly nostalgic tale of one man's 21st year working at an amusement park in the 1970s, King's imagery jumps to life and immerses you in this seaside world. The narrator (Stamper from House of Cards) is also amazing. Each character is distinctly defined and has his or her own voice. Great listen for a trip up to Door County, WI and VERY short (less than 300 pages in the print version)for Stephen King.
