Loved it. I read it in less than two days, which is so, so fast for me. I stayed up until 4:30 in the morning reading last night. I had to know what happened. Briefly, the story takes place in 1973. The narrator remembers back to a summer job he had while on break from college. He takes a job at an amusement park (Joyland) and the fun begins. There's the ghost of a young woman who was murdered by a serial killer four years earlier. But is there really a ghost? And who is the killer? And how do a little boy with muscular dystophy and his hot mom figure into the tale? It all weaves together perfectly. That's all I'll say.
