Naomi Alderman: The Power (2016, Viking) 4 stars

Review of 'The Power' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Pretty dark. The story starts well, even amusing in places but gradually takes a very dark turn. The initial thoughts around the 'power' in the title take a none too subtle twist in the second half of the book. The power is not just the electrical charge, it's the power that brings, and absolute power corrupts absolutely...

Well written, but I wouldn't say I enjoyed it. A bit too intense for me

Trigger warnings in this book for violence and rape.
