Joyland, by Stephen King

Joyland, by Stephen King, 283 pages

Devin Jones is spending his summer vacation working as a carny in a small amusement park.  He is recovering from a broken heart, finding out more about the park's alleged ghost, and overall having the summer that will define him for the rest of his life.  King is the master of nostalgia pieces, which is how I would best describe this- although mystery and ghost story would also apply.  Not a bad story, but not my favorite and not a work that best typifies Stephen King.
