Hello Mr. King
My name is Amina Choudry and I am a senior at Downers Grove South High School. Each year, we are given a choice of books and we have to read one over the summer. A librarian comes in and gives small summaries about each book. Out of all books, Joyland sounded the most interesting to me, so I decided to read it and it was a decision I won’t regret.
As soon as I started reading the book, I could not put it down! I finished it in less than 2 weeks. Mystery and crime fiction are some of my favorite genres so my interest was already pretty high before I started reading. The storyline was great and the way you expressed each character made it feel like I was in the book experiencing everything. Devin was my favorite character.
Overall, this book is one of my favorites. I didn’t really enjoy reading but ever since I read this book, I became more interested and it was something I could not keep down. I want to thank you for writing such an amazing book. I was just wondering, are you considering writing a second book? Maybe a couple years later, showing where all the characters are now? I’m sure a lot of people would appreciate it and it would be interesting.
Again, I loved reading your book. Thank you for creating such a unique and interesting book. I would appreciate if you got back to me and emailed me back at the same email.
Thank you,
Amina Choudry

My favorite part was when he started working in Joyland and was told the story about the girl who got murdered in the funhouse. I got attached right away because I was looking forward to knowing who the killer was. When Devin and his team went into the funhouse and only Tom saw the ghost of the girl, I got the chills. Especially when I found out that Lane Hardy was the killer. You did so well of making the characters come to life, and you would just never expect certain things to happen.
