December 2, 2018 The Power (Julie’s Pick)

Discussion:
Julie- Did not like it! Hard to find motivation to read. Only finished because it was my pick. This book was one woman’s protest. Written in metaphors. Would not recommend. 2/5
Meriah- Started to get bored in the middle. It was sad to see women turning so evil. Mixed feelings as to whether I liked. Would recommend. 3.2/5
Jocelyn- Not a fan of this book. Hated the authors writing style. It was so choppy and felt like she never finished what she was talking about. I did like her perspective on how women would be equally evil when given power. Hated the end! Would not recommend. 2/5
Maren- Started and thought this was going to be an interesting read, but no. Would not recommend, I never want to think about it again. 1.8/5
Ali- Thought it was terrible. Had to force myself to read it. Didn’t expect women to be so evil. Hated the writing style. Would not recommend ever! 2/5

Favorite Characters:
Julie- Roxy
Meriah- Roxy
Jocelyn- Roxy
Maren- Roxy and Margo
Ali- Roxy

“The shape of power is always the same, it is the shape of a tree. Root to tip, central trunk branching and rebranching. Spreading wider in ever-thinner stretching fingers. The shape of power is the outline of a living thing straining outward, sending its fine tendrils a little further and a little further yet.”
