Discussing: Fantastic Land

Note that we will be moving to meeting every third Sunday of the month--with rotating hosts and books chosen by the host.

We'll be discussing Fantasitc Land by Mike Bockoven. As always, please consider your local and/or independent press, library, and/or Libby! But, this book is so popular that you will have no trouble finding it in any of the more obvious places as well.

• Since the 1970s, FantasticLand has been the theme park where “Fun is Guaranteed!” But when a hurricane ravages the Florida coast and isolates the park, the employees find it anything but fun. Five weeks later, the authorities who rescue the survivors encounter a scene of horror. Photos soon emerge online of heads on spikes outside of rides and viscera and human bones littering the gift shops, breaking records for hits, views, likes, clicks, and shares. How could a group of survivors, mostly teenagers, commit such terrible acts?

If you're someone like me who is obsessed with planning minute-by-minute, this book will take you about 8 hours to read, averaging 16 days. The audiobook is 10 hours.

Again we are meeting in the red room, located in the basement of Hooked on Colfax.
