Joyland discussion

Five reflection questions
1. What does the author do to build the intensity?
2. If you were to guess who the kill is, who would you have chosen and why?
3. What are your thoughts about the boy with the dog? Do you think he is a seer? And you think his grandfather is a miracle performer?
4. What was the freakiest part so far that you find interesting?
5. On top of the title it says, “Who dares enter the funhouse of fear”. Have you felt the fear, the horror, taking into consideration the fact that there is yet any terrifying scene to happen? (Apart from what has happened)




Five comprehension questions.


1. How is the killer able to get away with all these murders?
2. Does your perspective on Eddie change after that scene with in the hospital?
3. Do you think it is a typical grumpy old Eddie to blame the wife for the death of his wife?
4. What was the dream with Fred Dean about? Do you think the black tide of baby spiders is a metaphor or a symbol for something? If so what?
5. What is the role of Mike in this crime book?
