I'm an ardent King reader, more out of habit than anything else. In my late 30's I discovered I'd read every one of his novels and then made a habit of reading each of them as they were released. There a great ones, and bad ones. Sleeping Beauties is an average one. Co-authored by his Son, Owen, Sleeping Beauties is a slow ride to a bloody battle and it's brief moral after effects. The main character, Evie, is not only “the first woman” but symbolic christ like attributes are hard to miss.

In all, a worthwhile read and glimpse into King's maturing style.
