Sleeping Beauties, Vol. 1
Sleeping Beauties, Vol. 1 | Stephen King, Rio Youers, Owen King
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
This official graphic novel adaptation of the horror novel by Stephen King and Owen King is a haunting interpretation of the chilling, timely bestseller. A bizarre sleeping sickness, called Aurora, has fallen over the world. Its victims can't wake up. And all of them are women. As nations fall into chaos, those women still awake take desperate measures to stay that way, and men everywhere begin to give in to their darkest impulses. Meanwhile, in the small town of Dooling, a mysterious woman has walked out of the woods; she calls herself Eve and leaves a trail of carnage in her wake. Strangest of all, she's the only woman who can wake up.

I found this intriguing but I‘m probably still read the book instead of continuing on with the graphic adaptation.

The novel that this graphic novel is based on is one of my favorites of the year. In fact in my current King rankings it stands at # 7. I loved the imaginative & unique story. The pacing of the book was flawless,it was epic in scope but perfectly executed & Stephen & Owen King did a phenomenal job of balancing a memorable cast of characters. In my review after finishing it I said that it delivers in several ways that The Stand simply doesn't.👇

vivastory Four months later I still stand behind this statement. The graphic novel makes the mammoth mistake of attempting to adapt a 700+ page novel into 2 slim volumes. What a disaster! This is like the Cliff Notes to the Reader's Digest version of the novel. It would have been a better idea for them to have created an entirely new story that happened the same day as the Aurora sickness, rather than mercilessly edit the book down. (edited) 2y
vivastory I will not waste my time with vol. 2. Just substitute “The Graphic Novel“ for “The Movie“ & the meme could have basically been my review 😂 (edited) 2y
Nute Brilliant review! This is always the problem with any type of adaptation of his work. Forget about trying to condense it. Better to leave it alone or run a series or like you said, do a tag along story. 2y
TrishB I‘m not a graphic novel fan but occasionally buy for hubby so I definitely won‘t get this one! 2y
