5.0 out of 5 stars this book kicks a**, October 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ayn Rand 2-copy set (Paperback)

The fountainhead is the kind of book that changes your life. I have read it over four times now, and each time i find something different to make me think. Some of the speeches drag on but they are necessary to explain Ayn Rand's far reaching ideas. The characters are fantastic as is the plot. When i first read it I couldn't put it down...I read for two days straight. Howard roark is the best hero of modern literature. Read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing reading experience, October 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ayn Rand 2-copy set (Paperback)

Let me start off by saying that i'm a high school student and the only reason i picked this book was because there was a scholarship contest pertaining to it. I was incredibly suprised when i found myself totally enjoying the book. Although some parts of it are drawn out a little more than necessary, reading it was a totally worthwile experience. Once i started reading it, it was extremely hard to put down. Rand has a great style of writing which will make you feel as if you are part of the story. I highly recommend this book to all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two of the best books ever written, April 23, 1998

Ayn Rand's books and the philosophy they describe are probably the best achievment any single author has ever had. These books should change the way anyone who reads them thinks, or at least affirm their assumptions. The world is being ruined by the people who believe in the ideas of living for others and not for themselves alone, and these books will help change the mind of anyone who reads and understands them.
