I don't think I can hide how much I love this book anymore! I think it's one of the best books I've read in 2018, not only because I found its plot very original, but because I heavily agreed with most of it. I think the most important thing about this book is that it didn't promote the notion that women are better than men. All it did, was try and promote gender equality and not perpetuate the centuries-long battle of the sexes that tries to determine which gender is the best. The answer is simple: none, because both are equal.

The author did something very clever in my opinion. When she gave women the power she made them ruthless and incredibly cruel and the world descended into chaos. Imagine if she made them act with kindness and wisdom and everything went perfectly fine and the world was like paradise. There would be no point to make and there would be no matter for discussion. But, with making women cruel and mad for revenge, she made men think from woman's point of view.

After a little while with women in power, there were men being raped in the streets and there were men saying: "It's not right for women to rape us and treat us like that" and it's a very interesting thought, because if men shouldn't be treated like that, why would women have to endure situations like these? Why would men rape women? Why would there be any kind of discrimination towards another human being, just because of their gender? What this book managed to do is put the oppressor in the oppressed's shoes. It's an interesting place for an oppressor to be, as it broadens their horizon and helps them see the bigger picture.

The book had a big variety of characters and I wasn't bored at all, because each and everyone was different and we were shown different aspects of the world while it crumbled under the women's power. My least favourite character of all was definitely Tunde, he was plainly stupid and every time I read a chapter about him, I wanted to scream, because every decision he made was more stupid than the previous one. Apart from him, I can't say I had a favourite character, but I have to admit that I admired Roxy's courage and determination.

All in all, "The Power" is a book that I think should be read by everyone, because it helps set the record straight about the gender equality. The most enlightening passages are the ones where men are complaining about regulations women forced on them, which regulations the women were forced to endure, before they acquired the power. It's that simple: if something bothers you, why do it to another person? I really hope this book is read by more and more people, especially men, so that it can shed some light on women's situation and why we so desperately need equality.
