Reviews
"For diversion (also important in these times), I highly recommend two writers of speculative fiction, Charlie Jane Anders and Naomi Alderman." -- Ayelet Waldman , "By the Book" column, New York Times Book Review, " The Power is the stuff of superhero fiction....What starts out as a fantasy of female empowerment deepens and darkens into an interrogation of power itself, its uses and abuses and what it does to the people who have it....her breakout work." -- Claire Armitstead , The Guardian, "By gleefully replacing the protocols of one gender with another, Alderman has created a thrilling narrative stuffed with provocative scenarios and thought experiments. The Power is a blast." -- Suzi Feay , Financial Times UK, "An instant classic of speculative fiction....Smart, readable and joyously achieved." -- Justine Jordan , Guardian UK, "When we say that The Power is profoundly disturbing and you may well want to argue with it as you read, we mean that in a good way." -- SFX, Five Stars, "What starts out as a fantasy of female empowerment deepens and darkens into an interrogation of power itself, its uses and abuses and what it does to the people who have it."-- Guardian UK, "The Power is a subtly funny, lyrical and utterly subversive vision of an impossible future. As all the best visionaries do, Alderman shines a penetrating and yet merciful light on to our present and the so many cruelties in which we may be complicit."-- A.L. Kennedy, Praise for The Power: "Electrifying! Shocking! Will knock your socks off! Then you'll think twice, about everything." -- Margaret Atwood, "Like the best science fiction, this dystopian feminist fantasy holds up a mirror to the here and now." -- Mail on Sunday UK, "Please, please, PLEASE read Naomi Alderman's The Power. It'll crack your brain open in all the right ways. Such an important, timely book." -- Literary Death Match, "Fascinating....as a whole the narrative feels ingenious....deserves to be read by every woman (and, for that matter, every man)." -- The Times UK, "Gripping and disturbing, it pushes the reader -- even the confidently feminist reader -- to question the assumptions underlying many of the mechanisms that drive relationships between women and men." -- Harper's Bazaar UK

She also has a pitch-dark sense of humor that she wields perfectly." --Michael Schaub, NPR 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., 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.

"Captivating, fierce, and unsettling...I was riveted by every page. Alderman's prose is immersive and, well, electric." -- New York Times Book Review

The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own.

I would definitely purchase from the seller again.
