Recenzii
Praise
forTHE
POWER:
"Magnificent. I'm agog. I'm several gogs. Smart and scary and sad but true. It'sa classic, in the way that it's hard to imagine it ever wasn't there."—Joss Whedon
"Alderman has written our era'sHandmaid's Tale, and, like Margaret Atwood's classic,The Poweris one of those essentialfeminist works that terrifies and illuminates, enrages and encourages....Thisbook sparks with such electric satire that you should read it wearing insulatedgloves."—Ron Charles,Washington Post
"Narratively complex, philosophically searching,and gorgeously rendered."—Lisa Shea,Elle
"Fierce and unsettling...Through immersive prose and a riveting plot, Alderman explores how power corrupts everyone: those who gain it, and those resisting its loss."—Radhika Jones,New York Times Book Review
"Richly imagined, ambitious, and propulsivelywritten."—Sophie Gilbert,The Atlantic
"Alderman's writing is beautiful, and her intelligence seemsalmost limitless. She also has a pitch-dark sense of humor that she wieldsperfectly."—Michael Schaub,NPR
"Alderman's tilted dystopia is a smartly layered place of slippery slopes and moral ambiguities, a fitting folktale for strange times."—Leah Greenblatt,Entertainment Weekly
"I was riveted by every page. Alderman's proseis immersive and, well, electric, and I felt a closed circuit humming betweenthe book and me as I read."—Amal El-Mohtar,New York Times Book Review
"An instant classic of speculative fiction... Smart, readable and joyously achieved."
—Justine Jordan,Guardian
"Bold and disturbing...it'snot just a book of the moment.The Poweris a major innovation in theoverlapping genres of feminist dystopia/utopia, science fiction, andspeculative fiction."—Elaine Showalter,New York Review of Books
"Fansof speculative fiction (see also: Margaret Atwood and Ben Marcus) aboutempowered youth will be struck by Alderman's speedy and thorough inhabitationof a world just different enough from ours to jolt the imagination. Mothers,lock up your boys."—Sloane Crosley,Vanity Fair
"Alderman has the daring and good sense toeschew go-girl uplift in favor of terrifying and complex dystopia."—Boris Kachka,Vulture/ New York Magazine
"A suspenseful thrill ride filled with deep, contrasting female leadson a scaffolding of philosophical questions about how different men and womenare at heart....Reminiscent of the work of Alderman's mentor Margaret Atwood,ThePoweris perfect for book clubs, where readers will undoubtedly debate thefiner points of nature versus nurture."—Jaclyn Fulwood,Shelf Awareness
"The Power is stupendous. It's gorgeously written, endlessly exciting, fun, and frightening."
—Ayelet Waldman,author of A Really Good Day
"The Hunger Gamescrossed withThe Handmaid's Tale."
—Cosmopolitan
"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... Alderman's breakout work."
—Claire Armitstead,Guardian
"Outstanding... Alderman imagines a world much like ours, with one difference: teenage girls suddenly have the ability to electrocute people. This is the perfect read if you've been itching for something to get you through to season two ofThe Handmaid's Tale."—Melissa Ragsdale,Bustle
"The Poweris at once as streamlined as a90-minute action film and as weirdly resonant as one of Atwood's own earlyfictions... Alderman has conducted a brilliant thought experiment in the natureof power itself...Turning the world inside out, she reveals how one of thegreatest hallmarks of power is the chance to create a mythology around how thatpower was used."—John Freeman,Boston Globe
"This is a thriller that terrifies and leaves behind alingering tingle that's part discomfort and part exhilaration. Easy to read,hard to put down, difficult to forget."—Cory Doctorow,Boing Boing
"The Poweris 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
"Please, please, PLEASE read Naomi Alderman'sThe Power.It'll crack your brain open in all the right ways. Such an important, timely book."
—Literary Death Match
"Audaciously depict[s]...the most extremeresults of a movement that seeks rather than interrogates power: That iffeminism has become a means for domination, it has lost its way."—Bridget Read,Vogue
"Ingenious....Deserves to be read by every woman (and, for that matter, every man)."
—Francesca Steele,The Times UK
"A page-turning thriller and timely exploration of gender roles, censorship and repressive political regimes,The Poweris a must-read for today's times."—Lauren Bufferd,BookPage
"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
"Alderman's storytelling is visceral and brave; you'll stay up all night reading after a thousand deals with the clock that you'll put it down after just a few more pages. Gleeful, intelligent, clever, and unflinching,The Poweris the kind of book to keep a person going."—Fiona Zublin,Ozy
"A searing critique of how power is used in a world in which a long-oppressed class can suddenly fight back."—Renay Williams,Barnes & Noble Blog
"By gleefully replacing the protocols of one gender with another, Alderman has created a thrilling narrative stuffed with provocative scenarios and thought experiments.The Poweris a blast."
—Suzi Feay,Financial Times UK
"When we say thatThe Poweris profoundly disturbing and you may well want to argue with it as you read, we mean that in a good way."
—SFX, Five Stars
"Electrifying!
Shocking!
Will
knock
your
socks
off!
Then
you'll
think
twice,
about
everything."
