Those expecting a horror book just because the author is Stephen King will be disappointed. (0 more)
Enjoyable coming of age book by Stephen King
A mid-range Stephen King book. Not exactly a horror if that is what you are looking for but a good read none the less.

Devin Jones takes a summer job at Joyland but it turns out to be so much more than what he was expecting. He discovers that he enjoys "Wearing The Fur" or in other words the big dog mascot costume that all employees rotate through, and that he is good at it. Like many amusement parks, Joyland has its own resident fortune teller and ghost, both of which Devin is skeptical about, to begin with, but takes an interest in any way.

I highly recommend this to all Stephen King fans, especially those who like his earlier work.
