The Power by Naomi Alderman
5.0
This is my first five-star read of the year because it's conceptually brilliant and really well executed. And I will say this: if you like books, read this book; if you like Margaret Atwood, read this book; if you like exciting stories that play with narrative and are successful at playing with narrative, read this book.
Beware that this could make you sort of sympathize with men. But then you will laugh at yourself being all sympathetic toward men, because the world that Alderman creates (or, the world that her poor, disenfranchised male author creates...) is so very much a fantasy.
