Sleeping Beauties by Owen King, Stephen King

5.0

Wow. This book was one hell of a ride. I’ve never read a book by Stephen King before or for that fact Owen King either but wow this book blew me away. I absolutely loved it. I loved how long it was, it made me feel like I was with this extremely large cast of characters for such a long time and I loved how it only spanned 5 days as the story was so rich and in depth. This book really made me think and question what our world could be like if this kind of thing were to happen and I think this book portrayed this perfectly. It broke my heart in places so many people died and so many characters I’d fallen in love with were killed. I also think the fact that after the Aurora crisis was over and the women came back that the world wasn’t all happy and not everyone got their happy endings was so refreshingly realistic. I felt sorry for Clint in the end that he didn’t get his happy ending because I honestly thought he deserved it. This book is something I will be thinking about for a long time. I can’t express how much I loved it. Thank you Stephen King and Owen King for writing this story.
