    Jill Barrakling I was really excited about this book when I heard about it a couple of months ago, when I had not yet read "Across the Universe" by Beth Revis. When I noticed it on NetGalley and my request got accepted, I admit I did the happy dance. I finished it just now at work, and sadly I have to say that my expectations were not met the way I thought they would.

    You could call "A Long Long Sleep" a futuristic retelling of Sleeping Beauty. But I liked it, really I did. I found the final reason as to why Rose would be "trapped" in stasis for so long really believable and I could see it happening just like that. While I read it pretty fast (5 hours or something, during a pretty boring meeting) I had some trouble getting into the world. Barely anything is revealed about the state of the world Rose lives on after sixty-two years of sleeping in a stass tube. While we know that the population is diminished and apparently there are colonies on other planets, that's about it.

    I'm not sure whether this is going to be blown up into a series, because there are some loose ends that I think need to be tied up. I think this story missed some *****, which is probably why I'm having some trouble writing about it.

    Then again, I was very engrossed while reading it, so it may just be my current mood. I liked it while reading it, it was pretty good all in all (even with a slightly wimpy heroine) and I just loved most of the male characters (like Otto and Bren). It's a good and recommended read. by Jill Barrakling
