My favorite book of all time. It's a bit long but worth the time and energy.
The fountainhead,
This was my first Rand book. Having read all 700 some pages of it while doped up on vicodin and recovering from the removal of my wisdom teeth, I was able to digest it in one big, painful gulp.I loved how Rand subtly & not-so subtly wove her philosophy into the structure of the characters and the story. I also loved how, aside from Roark, I couldn't immediately tell who the good guys and bad guys were going to be. Through twists and turns of the story, I kept rooting for Roark because his character was so strong while he remained soft-spoken. I knew that no matter what happened, Roark would be victorious. But during the trial at the end, Rand used poor little Roark as a podium to directly spews pages and pages of her bullsh*t ideas in a very direct, patronizing way which to me seemed quite contrary(not in philosophy but in personality) to Roark's character as it had been portrayed in the book up to that point. Consequently, I became disenchanted with the only character in the book I had spent those hundreds of pages connecting with. What a let down...
The fountainhead,
I liked the characters so much I named a compay after the main character. It is a great story with a great message.
The fountainhead,
Even though it is crudely written the ideas in it were extreamly thought provoking.This is my favorite book of all times. I LOVE AYN RAND!!! She gives you something to think about.This in my opinion is her best book. I recomend to any one with a brain to read this book!
The fountainhead,
I don't like to have to give so much detail in my reviews and would prefer to be able to just give the item a star rating and be done with it.
The fountainhead,
Each story speaks to me and in the journy that I have lived and wanted to live. I feel like there are heros in this book that speak to me dirrectly.
