Not a Stephen King Novel!
Before I am labled a King hater, let me make this clear, I am a King MEGA MEGA MEGA fan. I just finished rereading The Stand, It and Bag of Bones, enjoying them more now than when read originally. Adored them. For the post part have read 80% of SK's books.
So? I thought the premise of this sounded interesting.
Wow, was I in for a disappointment.
I can't see how Sleeping Beauties could be compared to any of King's past novels. To me, knowing King's writing style,
He didn't write it. His son did.
To me there was none of King's character development, no continuity in plot!
Why in God's name did it take place in a prison community , and what were The Orange is the New Black, Breaking Bad references all about ? I mean it rambled here there so much I could not follow it.
If anyone says this resembles any of Kings past writing,
No way.
Eve interested me. And she seemed like a character from American Horror Story Roanoke. Was she a witch, druid. Mother Earth ?
I can't say it's the first bad King novel I've read because it's not his writing. I've read enough Stephen King to know that.
2 seperate writers ye shall stay, please!!!
Father and Son.
