Sleeping Beauties, Vol. 2 by Stephen KingMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I'm feeling generous in rating. Honestly it has to be next to impossible to distill over 700 pages of novel into two volumes of graphic novel. I didn't read the novel (I'm pretty much over books that big) and while the premise is interesting it's also....boring and not that unexpected. I wasn't surprised by any of it other than maybe what was the 'woman' causing this wanted out of it.
Women are falling asleep inside cocoons of some sort and they're awakening in a garden place in another dimension (or something) where they can live in peace and quiet. Men, back here in the real world, are losing their shit getting more and more violent by the minute.
But of course it's not as simple as men = bad, women = good. Even in paradise, some of the women are missing their sons and husbands and brothers etc. Some, abused by men, will do anything to keep from going back including murder.
It's simply nothing that is going to stick with me long. All it really did was make me glad I didn't opt for the novel length version of this.
