My Thoughts & Review

I went into this book not knowing very much about the plot. Yes, I did pick up a physical copy from the charity shop but I didn’t actually read what it was about, I just brought it because I had heard the name and also because a few people had suggested I read it. Anyway, before I started the book I had convinced myself that I wouldn’t enjoy it and that I’d probably end up DNF-ing it but I was wrong.

The Power ended up being a really good read. It turned out to have an interesting and  definitely thought provoking plot.  Generally speaking I thought the book was well written but I preferred the first half of the book more. The first half of the book definitely had me gripped. The second half of the book wasn’t bad but there were a few little sections where I felt the plot drifted and my interest did waver a bit and the ending was a little underwhelming for me.

Overall I enjoyed this book, but because of the underwhelming ending I give this a solid 3 out of 5.
