Recently a Stephen King novel called "Joyland" was published. So a bunch of people hurriedly purchased copies of Joyland. Many left confused reviews after purchasing and reading "Joyland" by Emily Schultz,

    I quite liked the first 'review'.

    I didn't read this book and likely never will as it does not sound like the tyoe of story I would enjoy.

    However somebody give it a one star rating because THEY accidently purchased it thinking it was Stephen King, i've no idea how they did that but this review is too counter balance that one.

      I'm confused - where did the "Stephen Kind" name come from in the first place?

      The book is by a woman - totally different name.....makes no sense but maybe I'm missing the joke.

        Stephen King wrote a book called Joyland as well.

        Well spotted, Thunderbird must have hit the D instead of the G.

        I wasn't going to point that out as I thought you may be having a lower level sarcasm moment that I get very frequently.

        Corrected.

        (at least the typo wasn't Stephen Kink)
