Gissy
Joyland | Stephen King

From the cover, I thought it had horror elements but not, it is more a mystery suggesting some mild paranormal elements. But the story is more than that. It‘s about Devin, how his life will change after he took a job at Joyland. The story has some sad scenes, at least for me, how Devin and his father were still dealing with grief, his constant suicidal ideations. But it is also how Devin grew, it‘s about friendship. A very slow pace reading⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) Another character driven. I think that to enjoy this novel is because you like Mr. King character driven writing style. I‘m not an expert but there are some elements in how SK describes characters that reminds me how Hemingway described characters or daily events. Maybe not an accurate comparison🤷🏽‍♀️
I liked very much this story but I can understand why some persons don‘t. 3.8/4⭐️

#JoyousJanuary @Andrew65 and #LosersClub2023 #losersclub @BarkingMadRead

One of my favorite King books - not just the concept of going back and changing things, but all of the implications of it (like falling in love, if you stay, if you and another person come back) - this was a reread, so I did the audiobook - very good to listen to the second time around, and story just as good as I remembered.
Make a great day everyone - 🙂

Andrew65 I love this book and it is excellent as an audiobook. Well done 👏👏👏 1y
Ruthiella I rarely read King, but I think this or the Bill Hodges trilogy will be next for me. 1y
bthegood @Andrew65 thx and thx for hosting! 1y
bthegood @Ruthiella I liked the trilogy - but this was better IMO - it is a long one though 🙂 - enjoy whichever one/ones you choose! Have a good day. 1y

Hey hey hey #losersclub here are the books for 2023! I have changed it to start in the 1st of the month, and discuss at the end of the month. There is no January book, since our December 19 book will go into January. #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion #losersclub2023
