PositiveThe Tampa Bay Times...King's new coming-of-age novel that leans more toward the wistful realism of The Body than, say, Hearts in Atlantis, where the supernatural merged with adolescence. Joyland is small, tidy; you get the feeling that, for all its shimmer, King banged it out over a long weekend ...this story of a broken heart, a summer job and a beach amusement park — infused with ghosts, killers and a boy with 'the sight' — is lovingly streamlined. It starts strong, ends stronger. Sturdy finales are never a given with King, but this one, Constant Readers, will have you gasping and, ultimately, blinking back big fat tears ...will have a tough time fighting for a mention among Misery and Salem's Lot and Pet Sematary. But rest assured those who board King's latest roller coaster won't forget it anytime soon: the ultimate 'beach' book from one of literature's slyest entertainers.
