When I observe men harassing women or anyone else for simply being who they are, I strive to stand up. By the same token, it is equally incorrect to conclude that all men are terrible based on the behavior of a small number of them. I anticipate enjoying this one. I appreciate the review.

The review was well thought out and written with authority. I did not care for the sample I read and from the sound of your review this one is not for me.

I definitely want to read this book after reading today's review. I'm very intrigued with the way the concepts appear to develop. It can be tricky to create a well adjusted plot when writing futuristic novels, or so they feel to me. There are many I struggle adapting to the writing but the way this one is explained, it sounds like my cup of tea.

Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm glad that you enjoyed it. That is amazing that there were no errors in a book that long. While this isn't a genre I care for nor do I like sexual violence, I could tell that it was well written from the section that I read. I'm sure many others will enjoy this book if this is a genre they like.

This sounds like a very interesting read. A world where gender roles are reversed so much so that men have to fight for their rights. To top it all, this is a dystopian thriller. I can't wait to pick it up.

This is no doubt a unique book, but I'm not that thrill with the story, to be honest. I'm sure there are others who would definitely enjoy this book. Thanks for the review.

In "The Prison of Power- A Man-Made Tale" by G Michael Smith, dive into a gripping future where gender dynamics have taken a dark turn. As power shifts and secret groups plot, the intertwined lives of varied characters unfold an immersive narrative. Prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions in this intricate dystopia. Definitely for fans of sci-fi and those passionate about gender discussions. Congratulations on being BOTD!

After reading some of the reviews, I am inclined to think what it would be like the males in the near future when the women are dominating. With women dominating most of the power, I wonder if the man will ever be on top again. This is a powerful story written by the author's Prison of Power.

I have always thought that life is never fair to women. No matter what it is, women are always at the loading end but I still can't help but wonder how a world where women are the dominating gender would look like, would it be better than this or will women in power be worse than the men.

This near-future, dystopian fantasy seems interesting with women in power and men seen as less than second class citizens. I sometimes wonder what it would look like. Great review!

Wow, it looks like a very interesting story. I love how you capture the beginning of the conflict in the story and let the other wonder about the ending. I think I will enjoy the conflict of the opposite gender's power though maybe I will skip the part about the scenes of sexual violence. Thanks for your honest review.

"The Prison of Power" by G Michael Smith is a book set in a dystopian future which tried to pitch women against men. I will consider reading to know what life will look like in this era. Thanks for the review.

'Official Review: The Prison of Power: A Man-Made Tale' by G. Michael Smith explores the science fiction story in depth for readers. It relates the various components of the story for keen readers. The point that the story is about a dystopian world, where a war is being waged on men is worth mentioning in the review. The story's theme of a futuristic world where women dominated all facets of power was new and refreshing. Also, as mentioned in the review, the point that the backstory created by the author was convincing is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the book is recommendable to readers concerned about issues like gender inequality!
