This is my first Stephen King book and it is not at all what I was expecting. I guess I was expecting It or Cugo. What I got was thoughtful, emotional, funny, and smart. Joyland is part mystery, part ghost story, part coming of age story, and part drama. Twenty-one year old Devin Jones takes a summer job at Joyland, a small amusement park along the Eastern Coast. During that summer and fall he meets new friends and uncovers an old murder. Joyland is more about relationships than suspense. King tells a story about who we connect with and how they impact us. Even a brief true connection with someone can have a lifelong impact. I would definitely recommend Joyland. El problema con este libro es que te esperas algo completamente diferente al tenerlo frente ti e incluso tras leer un par de páginas. Es un buen ejemplar de vivencias con un toque (una pizca, en realidad) de dramas sobrenaturales y casi nada de suspenso. Lo que tiene completamente a favor son los personajes, por ejemplo, Dev es adorable y los demás están muy bien desarrollados, pero no se esperaba más de un escritor con tan amplia trayectoria.
Do You like book Joyland (2013)?
Fun and quick read. Nothing spectacular but overall I liked it. Good beach book.
