## Description

Stephen King's #1 Bestseller As You've Never Seen It BeforeFeaturing more than 20 illustrations by acclaimed artists Pat Kinsella, Robert McGinnis, and Mark Summers, this brand new edition of JOYLAND brings the carny world to life in all its bright and sinister glory.College student Devin Jones took the summer job at Joyland hoping to forget the girl who broke his heart. But he wound up facing something far more terrible: the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and dark truths about life-and what comes after-that would change his world forever.A riveting story about love and loss, about growing up and growing old-and about those who don't get to do either because death comes for them before their time- JOYLAND is Stephen King at the peak of his storytelling powers. With all the emo- tional impact of King masterpieces such as The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption, JOYLAND is at once a mystery, a horror story, and a bittersweet coming-of-age novel, one that will leave even the most hard-boiled of readers pro- foundly moved.

Review: Joyland - Excelente livro, edição primorosa!
Review: Unforgettable story - If you are depressed because your heart is broken by someone you loved and you can't think of your future anymore, you should read this novel. Though this story was written by King of Horror, it' not a horror story at all. Maybe after reading this, you will recall the film 'Stand By Me' or 'The Summer of '42' and you would like to stand on the beach with Dev and Annie.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great writing by a great writer
*by A***K on 6 June 2013*

To begin with, this is NOT a horror story. But then Stephen King has already written a number of fine stories that aren't horror stories (e.g., Green Mile, Stand By Me/The Body). Joyland is the story of Devin Jones, a young college student who has his heart broken by his first crush as he heads to work at an amusement park for the summer. The story also involves the possible ghost of a girl who was murdered at that amusement park- Joyland. There was a murder, whether or not there is a ghost is something I won't spoil for potential readers. But that, along with the murder, is an important sub-plot of this book. However, the main focus of the book is on Devin and the people he meets. From his roommates to his co-workers, King once again shows his skill at bringing people to life in his writing. There is a cliched cripple boy with psychic powers (a King staple), but even he is handled with a deft hand. King makes you care about Devin, and his ability to paint a scene makes it seem like you are there with Devin, in 1973, at a modest amusement park. The ability to create a vivid scene is one of King's greatest talents in my opinion, and this book clearly features that talent. It's a relatively short story at just under 300 pages, and it moves along at a good pace. Be forewarned again that this is not an action thriller or horror movie. It is very much about character development and a commentary on life itself rather than a book that just tries to shock or scare you. I normally don't go for this kind of fiction, but I'm a big fan of much of King's work and I found myself really enjoying this book. It may be an odd statement for me to make, but this book just seemed like the kind of cerebral movie that Clint Eastwood sometimes directs recently. Something that on the surface seems to promise great action or blood, but really makes a much deeper connection on both an emotional and a cerebral level. All that means I think this is a five-star book. It made me feel, it made me think, and it made me lose track of time- all signs of a very good book! So if you're looking for a book that showcases King's ability to write about (more or less) real characters and real life drama, with perhaps a bit of darkness thrown in, then Joyland is an excellent read.
