3.5? Not sure yet!
In a world where women have fallen asleep in cocoons, the men are left to figure things out. The premise was super intriguing but I'm not 100% sure I'm happy with the ending.
This book contained a lot of characters. A LOT. I did appreciate most of the feminist views included although it sometimes bordered on the "m'lady hat tipping" side.
This book also featured one of my new most hated character of all time! Congrats Don Peters, you're a POS! :D
I'll probably update this review when I have more time to think about it. I did like it but it's not my favorite from SK.

I've not long started this one. I've never read any of Stephen King's books before and so far it's not too bad. Any other recs for some King books would be great though :)

Ooh that sounds pretty good. Might have to try that one next. Thank you :)
Stephan King recent releases have been sort of mediocre.( Castle Rock, 11/22/63, Revival) They pale in comparison to his early novels.
One of his early novels which hasn't gotten much attention is The Eyes of The Dragon.
Don Peters - definitely no good! Bleh!Great review!
I recently came across a YouTube channel the person who is an author but also has read everything Stephan King wrote three times.He stated that the villain in Sleeping Beauties is actually in another story King wrote called The Storm of The Century.
BTW He gave book Sleeping Beauties two stars
I️ feel the exact same way! I️ was really enjoying the story and then the ending was just meh. It also took me agesss to get through listening to it on audiobook. The narration was great, but I️ didn’t feel like the story gripped me enough to keep me super interested.
Alan, I agree: Eyes of the Dragon is a great book!
Just wanted to weigh in and say Don Peters is definitely VILE. He reminded me of Porn Stache from Orange is the New Black. 🤮
PS it’s not my favourite King either by a long chalk. Just got the new one ... let’s see ... 🤞
Don Peters is definitely my least favorite character of all times, even more so that Tom Buchanan from The Great Gatsby (and I hate Tom)
Ah Don Peters, the man I loved to hate. I figured that the Kings kept him around so long so his eventual demise would be so satisfying.
