The Handmaid's Tale for the Gone Girl generation Grazia A stone cold genius -- Sarah Perry The Hunger Games crossed with The Handmaid's Tale Cosmopolitan 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 Electrifying! Shocking! Will knock your socks off! Then you'll think twice, about everything -- Margaret Atwood The Power is a fascinating look at what the world might be like if millennia of sexism went the other way...as a whole the narrative feels ingenious...deserves to be read by every woman (and, for that matter, every man) The Times A feminist science-fiction story that's about to make waves Red If you enjoy Margaret Atwood's dystopian fiction, this strong, substantial novel is for you Woman & Home Alderman is a fluent and powerful writer Sunday Times Thought-provoking novel Glamour 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 As awesome as it is compulsive Heat, 5 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 A raw, gutsy slice of speculative dystopia Metro Like the best science fiction, this dystopian feminist fantasy holds up a mirror to the here and now Mail on Sunday A gripping read and a reminder of the true joy of a truly engaging story Stylist Frenetic sci-fi novel Daily Mail Naomi's super-charged, subversive novel...forcing you to rethink everything Psychologies
