Historia
Joyland is a whodunit noir crime novel and a haunting ghost story set in the world of an amusement park. It tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a 'carny' in small-town North Carolina and has to confront the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the way both will change his life forever. It is also a wonderful coming-of-age novel about friendship, loss, and your first heartbreak.

Revisado: 07-24-13
What did you like best about Bed of Roses? What did you like least?
I feel as if I know these characters, which is the only reason to read this book. The story is just so predictable but you continue to read it as the characters are like long lost friends.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I am not sure, this is just a pure romance series, no twists and turns.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
The narrator is very professional and consistent
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
probably, just to see who they choose as the characters as I love the characters in this series.
