I'm sort of disappointed in King's latest offering, written in collaboration with his son Owen. It's called Sleeping Beauties; I read the first 70 pages last night (free preview with my Nook) and found two pretty glaring continuation errors.

It's bad enough that both King and his son missed these errors, but where the hell was their editor?!?

Were they major plot holes, or basically typos?

Oh, no. Typos can be excused (sort of). This is continuity stuff - the writer forgot what he said about someone or some thing in a scene, and then contradicts the earlier statement in the same scene.

In one scene, someone knocks at the door of a guy named Truman, a backwoods meth cooker who happens to be "in his cowboy boots and boxer shorts and nothing else" when he opens the door. The visitor is a madwoman who imediately attacks him. With her maniacal grip squeezing into his throat and her ragged nails cutting into his flesh, "Truman's free hand found the grip of the Bowie knife tucked into his belt and pulled it loose."

Seriously?

The other error I found was a scene where a cops gets home late after a rough day. The cop "deposited her gunblet in the drawer, shut it, and clicked it locked again," then she crashed onto the bed with her uniform still on. She was slipping off to sleep, "and was almost there when her phone bugled at her from the utility belt laid across the ceder chest at the end of the bed."

This is bush league stuff. Sheesh, King and son. Get it together.

I always wear a belt with a knife on my boxers when I'm cooking meth.
But King doesn't say he was wearing the belt does he? It might have been on the table or hanging on a chair or hook nearby.

Oh, and maybe she wore a gun belt and utility belt.





OK King, pay me.

That's sort of a stretch, don't you think?

Ok, I might buy that, but if that was the case, the author(s) should have made that very clear, or geeks like me would fixate on that seeming inconsistency in the details to the point that we wouldn't enjoy the story as we should.

Just sayin.'

Yes, that son of a bitch begged the US to help him set up a democratic nation modeling its constitution after ours. The nerve of him asking us to insult our dear friends the French. tsk tsk

This will sound crazy, but the mouth and jaw look like Jesse Ventura.

My only guess would be Tom Petty because he's timely, otherwise I got nothing.

Not Ventura or Petty. This will be a tough one. He's not an American.
