Sleeping Beauties

Tweet

Have you ever picked up a book to read and got excited because it was 700 pages long? Today I received the novel Sleeping Beauties in the mail. Today was its release day, and my husband had pre-ordered it for me so I actually got it today insead of having to wait. I was so excited. Even more so when I saw how HUGE it was. Co-written by Stephen King and his son Owen (writing is a huge tallent in this family, clearly, as Joe Hill is also one of King's sons) this novel is about.... Well, according to the cover all the women all over the world fall victim to a sleeping sickness in which they are violent if awakened from. This seems to be caused by a strange woman named Evie, who is the only one to NOT suffer from it. So half the men of the world want to protect her and the other half want to kill her. I've just started reading it. The women of the world have not all fallen alseep yet. But it is promising to be a great read. Now, it being 700 pages makes it very heavy to carry around and difficult to read laying down, but I'm gonna power through. What is the biggest/longest book you've ever read? (NOT counting the Bible, cause that's probably what everyone will say) Do you enjoy long reads, or short quick ones?
