Sleeping Beauties
by Owen King, Stephen King
So I decided to continue my Stephen King chronological journey after not picking up one of his books since April. Getting so near to the end of his work has me a bit panicked so I've been stalling on the last of his work. Now that Billy Summers is out, I decided to keep chugging along because I cannot wait to get to that one!
So next on my list was Sleeping Beauties. I have seen a lot of mixed reviews on this one, especially from other Constant Readers. I know it is not high up on anyone's list. That being said, I went into the book with pretty low expectations. I ended up being pleasantly surprised, as I ended up enjoying this one! Granted, it's definitely not his best work, but it was still a fun and interesting read.
The endless list of characters, the heavy characterization, the long descriptions, all things that King is known for, and all things that I missed these past few months! This book is more of a dark horror with sprinkles of fantasy in it. I am not big on fantasy at all, but when Stephen King dabbles in it, I really do enjoy it. I couldn't really tell the difference between him and Owen's writing for the most part, so I guess that's a good thing! Owen's writing must mirror his fathers.
This book can also be considered a sort of social commentary you could say. What would happen in a world without women?
