The Power by Naomi Alderman
Did not finish book.
1.0
The premise of this book is fascinating, but the execution not so much.
I’m 61% in and going to call it quits. I started this book twenty days ago, and I’m still not done. It’s not only SLOW, but put me in a reading slump.
I was unable to connect with a single character, especially with the POV jumping around so much. While women are just as fallible as men, there’s no way to enjoy the absurdity of how far these women go once their power is unleashed.
I get it’s fiction, but it was too much for me.
