About this listen
Featuring a conversation with the authors!
In a spectacular father/son collaboration like no other, Stephen King and Owen King tell the highest of high-stakes stories: what might happen if women disappeared from the world of men?
In a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to sleep: they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent, and while they sleep they go to another place....
The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease. Is Evie a medical anomaly to be studied? Or is she a demon who must be slain?
Set in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women's prison, Sleeping Beauties is a wildly provocative, gloriously absorbing father/son collaboration between Stephen King and Owen King.

Brilliant until the last few chapters.
Excellent narration. Wonderful characters.
However.
The ending is way too neat, too constructed. Shame, because until the very last chapters it is truly a great ride.

An interesting story
I thought the story was quite uninteresting, I would have liked a little more detail about Evie like why did she show up when she did? What was her real objective?

Preachy
I enjoy Stephen King books, but this one was nearly unbearable. The social commentary was thick and unnecessary to the story, it distracted from an otherwise interesting plot.
