timsamoff 's review for:

The Power by Naomi Alderman
4.0

This is the book what Stephen King (and son) was trying to write with "Sleeping Beauties" and what Jeff VanderMeer was trying to write with "Annihilation." While the subject matters within each book are different, the spiritual concept is strikingly consistent. Either that or I'm just happy that a woman has written a book like this about women for once.

While there are some shockingly disturbing scenes in this book, they are all quite meaningful in terms of communicating the resulting message.
