The Power Book Reviews
The Power by Naomi Alderman Book Summary
In this stunning bestseller praised as "our era's Handmaid's Tale," a fierce new power has emerged—and only women have it (Washington Post).
In The Power, the world is a recognizable place: there's a rich Nigerian boy who lounges around the family pool; a foster kid whose religious parents hide their true nature; an ambitious American politician; a tough London girl from a tricky family.
But then a vital new force takes root and flourishes, causing their lives to converge with devastating effect. Teenage girls now have immense physical power: they can cause agonizing pain and even death. And, with this small twist of nature, the world drastically resets. From award-winning author Naomi Alderman, The Power is speculative fiction at its most ambitious and provocative, at once taking us on a thrilling journey to an alternate reality, and exposing our own world in bold and surprising ways.
"Captivating, fierce, and unsettling...I was riveted by every page. Alderman's prose is immersive and, well, electric." —New York Times Book Review

Astoundingly bad.. Remarkably little thought has gone into the world building in this novel. The characters are unbelievably simplistic and the changes they go through are rushed and psychologically unbelievable. An interesting concept handled clumsily with little to no character development. I wish an intelligent, thoughtful author like Ursula K. Le Guin had written this, she might of come up with something with an iota of authenticity , truth, or reflection in to. In the second half of the book, a graphic depiction of a man desiring rape and abuse is especially bizarre, since the man is at this point meant to be seen as in the position of and experiencing the emotions of modern day women. Obscene, shallow, and disappointing. Also, the depiction on nuns was comically inaccurate. It was as if someone were to write about eastern religion based solely on the cartoon “Avatar”. Absolutely terrible.
Great book. This is great story, it took me to a different present. I felt the power growing on each chapter. Thank you for writing this.
An imaginative, yet unwieldy story. One of the most refreshing concepts for a novel that I’ve come across in a while. The initial premise is so thought provoking that it warrants more - more developed characters and a more developed world. Easily could’ve been a trilogy or a 700+ page epic. As the reader, you can sense that without those extra pages the author struggles to contain a MASSIVE idea within the character development and story arc of a ~400 page book. Regardless, it’s a worthwhile read.
Phenomenal. This book is quite a ride, but it’s one worth taking, regardless of your gender. If you’re willing to open your eyes to some uncomfortable truths, this book is for you.
One Heck of a Ride!!. I have never read through a book faster in my life!!! The concept the imagery!!! Just wow!!!
Must read.. So go read it. It’s an incredible, careful, often restrained and disquieting masterpiece.
Powerful. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Feminist and brutally honest
Amazing. Any dislikes or negative reviews of the violence portrayed must be written by those who turn a blind eye on our current reality today or lack the imagination to think of a world different than their own conditioning. Thank you to the author for writing this book.
The Power. There are no words . . .
We Need Books On This Topic, But...... Yes we need books on the issues surrounding harassment, but we don’t need books like this. Horribly written, dull, goes nowhere. Manipulative. Read non-fiction on this topic, you’ll get more from it.
Good story. A mind bending concept to be sure. The narrative and characters are the real star.
Great Concept- Disappointing Finish. Such opportunity wasted! Great idea and beginning. Dimensional characters, intriguing idea, but I became disenchanted because as a mother, I know the love we have for our sons. Which if this story ship would have angled a slightly different way, it could easily have been a five star. I’m a feminist, but only a male hater would truly love and imagine this story could happen.
Superb. This is a superb novel.
Exciting, thrilling and well-written. Excellent. Must-read. Couldn’t put it down.
The Power. Good concept but poor execution
Mindblown. Just finished this amazing book, and wow. Incredible. I’m sitting here, mind reeling at the possibilities explored, and now I want to read it all over again. Definitely a must read if you’re looking at dystopian fiction, well done. If you’re a fan of Margaret Atwood, you will appreciate this!
Thought provoking. And powerful. In many ways.
Such a good read!. Read this book.
Excellent fictional look at a women’s world. Loved the imagination and the very real gender reversal in this story. Hunger Games meets the Handmaids Tale!
The Power. Graphic violence
