5feet.of.fury A surprisingly short King! I found it really slow to start. But once we got to Annie & Mike I really enjoyed it. 12mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury sometimes King can start off soooooo slow, but once he hits his stride it‘s go time! This is definitely one of those times 12mo
BookwormAHN Loved it. And for a short book the story was really well woven. 12mo
NikkiM5 Agreed, it took a minute to get going. But that usually makes me excited, his slow starts always lead to deep character development. It was a joy (teehee) to read, and I love how it fits in King‘s Universe. Off the top of my head, The Shining and The Institute. 12mo
BarkingMadRead @NikkiM5 I love when he drops those little Easter eggs in there 12mo
bthegood @BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury @BookwormAHN @NikkiM5 I feel King is just a good story teller - he builds up the suspense, he develops the characters - in the end it all comes together without a character having to explain why everything happened or how it happened. 12mo
BarkingMadRead @bthegood yes! He‘s definitely a master at that!! 12mo
Bklover I think my favorite thing about him is how familiar his characters always feel. I love this one! 12mo
Bklover @bthegood Exactly! 12mo
bthegood @Bklover yes - the reader feels like they know the characters - you get invested in the story because you are invested in the characters - 12mo

My first Stephen King novel and I was not disappointed!! (Not that I thought I would be). A light who-dun-it with suspense, love, emotion, and a perfect Coney Island feeling amusement park set in the 70s. A little bit of scare but not nearly as much as I thought it would have considering the author. #stephenking #joyland #photography #amusementpark #ferriswheel #horrorhouse #funhouse

Three more Amazon purchases in the 3 for 2 sale. Bill Hodges trilogy & Joyland by Stephen King and the final book in the current Gentleman Bastards.

vivastory I've had my eye on that Bill Hodges edition 2y
Twainy @vivastory I‘ve had it on my Amazon Book Wishlist forever …. I love the 3 for 2 sales 😁 I got the GoT & Farseer illustrated trilogies this way. This box set was on sale for $32 too. 2y

I love the Hard Case Crime covers for these Stephen King books. I haven't read Later yet but enjoyed the other two.
