 Hello everybody here. Welcome back to Thursday theorist before we get started with the second to the last of the novel episodes I want to give a big shout out to my buddy Richard Gerlach I did an unboxing and it isn't nasty, but I know a lot of people don't watch these at nasty So I wanted to give him a major shout out in a Stephen King video Because he sent me this This is the Chinese edition of it and if you notice It's kind of strange, but the title in Chinese Looks like a big E like a big E. Anyways, so and I like how he's got they got Georgie on the cover And I guess that's just about all they have as far as imagery, but it is a two-book set It's got a smaller book and a bigger book And I talked to Richard about it since it seems like it's much shorter an experience And he says that Chinese and China the Chinese Language uses characters that will have like whole sentences in it So I mean that explains it I guess, but thank you again Richard. I appreciate it and this is awesome This is the only other international edition translated version of Stephen King's books that I have other than in solnos Up here, which is the sweetest version of insomnia that my friend Thomas Tromquist In Sweden sent me. So here we are for the topic of the day Sleeping beauties by Stephen and Owen King. I was going to jump right over this and leave this for the collabs For like when I do Gwendys that he wrote with a chismar and when I get to the straw collaborations But I decided there really was no reason to I just want to go ahead and get this one as a way The outsider is next week and it is the last of the novel ones for the Dark Tower Thursday theorist up So sleeping beauties right off the bat the more I think about this book The more I dislike it. So if you want to know my full thoughts on this I actually have a review of this one up already go check that out But into the book itself as far as Dark Tower King verse tie-ins. There's really nothing that's obviously stated I've only been through this one once I will eventually listen to the audio book I'm not looking forward to it But I will eventually listen the audio book and give it another go and try to see a little bit deeper into it But the only tie-in that I have is some of the more Spoilers ahead by the way some of the more outlandish stuff like the tree on the talking animals the Just Evie alone now Eve Yeah, I don't she might not even be called Evie in the book I just remember for some reason calling her Evie, but Eve in the book actually might be Evie black No, it's just Eve. Okay. So Eve black You have little things that kind of pique my interest like her name last name being black You have the man in black, which is you know, Randall flag. She doesn't have fingerprints like our buddy Randall She can talk to animals like our buddy Randall. She's around for the end of the world like our buddy Randall There's just so much about her and also she's got to be a Twitter or something for Andre Leno's from Storm of the Century It's the this book one of the major problems I have with this book is it is so much like under the dome and everything else the king has created Dean Coons has a problem with this Stephen King usually doesn't and the way King gets gets away with it Is by tying his worlds together. So if you see something pop up you have possibly an explanation for it Whereas Coons you don't now The I also want to go as far. I saw some similarities I have read the wastelands, which is a third dark tower book I've read that one just almost as much as I've read Stephen King's it Actually about half as many times, but it's the second most read book in his catalog from me And there are some similarities Between the place where the women go when they go to sleep There are some similarities between that and the town of Ludd in the wastelands So if anybody else caught that vibe from that place that they go to let me know down there in the comments below I think that's it. I'm gonna wrap this up on that note. So I don't have any hard connections But I do have theories. So maybe Evie Eve black is a Twitter for Andre Leno's Maybe she is Randall flag and that's why she has so many of the same traits Another thing is you got Owen King here So I and I believe I firmly believe that he wrote the majority of this book And if you do that, you're gonna see even less of Stephen King in it. Basically, you're gonna see less of the king verse So those are more sprinkled clues that tell me that Stephen King didn't really have much of a hand in this book So if you found anything else if there's anything I missed anything you want to bring up Let me know down there in the comments below and before we log off the Dark Tower reread is going to be happening starting the first book the gunslinger We are gonna be starting that the first week of August I will be putting up a video saying a welcome, you know, whoever wants to read with us is welcome to read with us I need all of your comments on That video and then I will make a good reach group or Twitter group. I'll make a YouTube group I don't even know if I can do that, but we'll find some way to communicate as we're reading through You don't have to be a super quick reader. We're gonna take our time with it and go through the entire series There's also I want to ask you guys Do you want to do the little sisters of alluria first because that is technically the first of the dark tower stories? If so, let me know down there, but until next time. I have been E you've been you It's been another Thursday theories review. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
