Sleeping Beauties
by Owen King, Stephen King
There is a strong "the future is female" element to the Kings' " Sleeping Beauties." When the women fall asleep, they are transported to a new world. It is a world without men, where they get to make all the choices, and where there is some conflict, but not a lot. This is a world that they must ultimately decided if they want to stay in, or leave in order to return back to the world with men. The men, on the other hand, have to learn how to live in a world without women, a less successful endeavor.
In some parts "Beauties" echoes earlier King novels, such as "Rose Madder," but "Beauties" isn't just re-write of those earlier works. It is instead very much crafted for today's world and the issues within it.
"Beauties" is neither my favorite nor least favorite King novel. It's a nice way to pass some time for those who want a fun read and don't mind a little gore.
