I did not expect to like this anywhere near this much. I was expecting kind of fluffy, stupid treatment of the whole idea. Ooh, a Sleeping Beauty story that takes place in the future! There was no way this was going to be good. This was great. I liked the fact that there were some legitimate p...
A heartbreaking psychological drama with traces of the classic fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty, that goes way beyond the normally used and abused clichés, focusing instead on one girl's psychological path to recovery. In a way this reminds me of another novel, _ This Is Not A Test_ in the sense that ...
A Long, Long Sleep, I don't know how to feel about you. I feel like we maybe got off on the wrong foot, because I was expecting to be blown away by your awesomeness. With the promise of a sci-fi fairytale retelling, my mind screamed, "CINDER! MORE OF THAT OMG YES PLEASE!" But you're not like that at...
A Long, Long Sleep is, as the title suggests, a fairytale re-imagining of the Sleeping Beauty story.

Imagine being asleep for 62 years and waking up to a whole different world. What would it be like always being told you were not strong enough or smart enough? This book irritated me. Made me angry and sad and yet I fell in love with it. This is a sad story. Each page revealed a new layer of Rose...
This was a book born out of NaNoWriMo which initially peaked my interest. However, what kept my interest was the voice of the main character, Rose. Rose is a girl out of time. She was in statis when the world around her changed. When she awoke, the world had changed, her parents and friends were...
A Long, Long Sleep puts a futuristic spin on the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty and the result was a beautifully deep story that will stay in my mind for a long time.I went into this almost completely blind. I knew it was a sci-fi Sleeping Beauty and that’s about it. Turns out that was horribly ina...
