Joyland   Stephen King
Have felt for a long time that I should read a Stephen King novel because of his influence in American fiction. This mystery novel, part of the Hard Case Crime series, is about a series of carny murders back in 1973. It’s a coming-of-age story of sorts, as well. I was disappointed by the writing and the adolescent characterizations. Also, there was no real edge to it, the series notwithstanding. But it was an engaging distraction for a couple of days. Not very good, but no regrets.
