About this listen

Theme-park blogger Jason Green is dead and his spirit is stuck inside Whirly World, his favorite place to be. What should be a dream come true turns into an abstract nightmare as Jason confronts malevolent forces trapping him there. Desperate to escape, he has to befriend the other 10 ghosts inhabiting this afterlife, from a disgruntled hostess crushed under a revolving stage, to a bereft security guard that still thinks it's 1983, and combine their strange powers to dig up the park's mysterious past.

I give this book a 5 out of 5.

I’m honestly terrible at writing reviews, but I enjoyed this story. Been a longtime fan of Brandon’s work following him from GT to EA and now as an author. It was hard to not anticipate a “9.5 out of 10,” but I eventually moved passed that. Keep the great work, Brandon.

Brandon Jones Delivers

When I heard Jones was writing a novel it was pure curiosity to see what it was about that sent me looking for it. When I heard the premise I was shocked because it was a theme I very much enjoyed, and so I picked it up without a second thought.

This novel was great! An interesting take on the afterlife and real love put into the main character's love for the setting, which I'd assume was born from the experiences in the Video Game industry that Jones has. The reverence that Jason has for Whirly World is incredibly well written and leaves me wishing there was a Whirly World I could go to.

Excellent work, and can't wait to see what Jones does next. As always, love and respect.

Trapped in the happiest place on earth

The lightest hearted romp (well…as light hearted as it can be when everyone is dead) through “not Disney land”, exploring what attracts or repels us from these places of manufactured manicured joy. With the vibe of a “through the looking glass” style exploration of a new but familiar world, a paranormal mystery plays out about the (after)life, the universe and everything.

A ghostly thrill ride of a book!

I really enjoyed the book, it's a great mix of mystery, fun character interactions, and a sprinkling of general theme park enthusiasm that buoys the whole thing. The main character has a great mix of child-like exuberance and petulant childishness at the start of the book (the most of his death) and through bouncing around park meetings it's other inhabitants you get some really delightful moments and a nice meaningful character journey out of it too. Plus the hook of the story physically taking you throughout the theme park makes you feel a little like the first time at Disneyland when you can't wait to find out what THAT ride or area is like. There's also a mystery underpinning the whole journey that, while not quite the beating heart of the story like the cast of characters, gives a nice forward momentum to the whole thing.

Would very much recommend!

Fantastic narration, as only the author could deliver.

This book was a delight to experience. It's a fantastic listen for all ages, and particularly for fans of amusement parks. Looking forward to whatever else the author imagines up in the future.

A solid debut for Jones!

Long time fan of Jones since GT & EZA. Good first novel, and a solid narrative. Excited for what might come next from him.

Delightful mystery adventure!

Loved the first person voice, the district characters, and the unraveling mystery. I can't wait for Jones' next story.
