“Joyland is a breathtaking, beautiful, heartbreaking book....Even the most hardboiled readers will find themselves moved” (Charles Ardai, Edgar- and Shamus Award-winning editor of Hard Case Crime).

Set in a small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, Joyland tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carny and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the ways both will change his life forever. Joyland is a brand-new novel and has never previously been published.

Keins von Kings besten Werken für mich persönlich, aber schon ok. Sprecher top. Kurz u. bündig.

Ganz ok

Irgendwie habe ich spätestens seit Dr. Sleep das Gefühl, der Meister würde dem Titel nicht mehr so ganz gerecht werden.
Hier nicht. Die Geschichte lässt das gute alte King-feeling wieder aufkommen, die Atmosphäre ist perfekt — die Story entfaltet sich langsam, es brodelt aber gewaltig unter der scheinbar ruhigen Oberfläche und die Kulmination lässt einen nicht enttäuscht. Das Finale ist emotional, aber auf ruhige, etwas sehnsüchtige Weise und hinterlässt einen bittersüßen Nachgeschmack.
Der Sprecher, Michael Kelly, ist einfach nur großartig: sehr angenehme Stimme, und als Schauspieler beherrscht er das Voice Acting natürlich auf dem höchsten Niveau. Ich wünschte mir mehr Titel gelesen von ihm.

Seit langem wieder ein toller King

Well plotted story rich in colorful facets that make this novel very compelling and interesting.

A solid crime plot built on a coming of age story.

One could wait forever until the story gets a little kick. Totally boring. It needs the author's name to get it issued at all I guess. What a waste of my time.

Extremely boring
