I absolutely hated The Power by Naomi Alderman. Two-dimensional plot and characterisation, terrible dialogue, and a kind of revenge-porn zeal in its depictions of female violence towards men.
As a guy I thought it oddly insulting to women to posit that, given the power, they'd almost immediately sink to the level of the worst male abusers in their use of it. As a human it struck me as a really depressing portrait of our essential nature.
