I read this in seven days!!! Wonderful!!!!

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 1999
Review: I recently read this book and found that it was wonderful. The plot was ever-so-changing and was not boring. It kept my interest throughout the whole 750 pages. I think that if anyone else would have written this book by trying to convey the same...

Integrity--No Compromise!

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2000
Review: The Fountainhead is simply my favorite book. I have been an avid reader all my life and I've never found another that "speaks" to me in the same way over and over again. I was an adult before I read this and truly did not put it down once I started...

The Fountainhead, fuel for deep thought

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: A masterpiece that should be read by everyone. A very interesting commentary on capitalism and life.
Review: The reader is taken on quite a journey in The Fountainhead. The story of Howard Roark, Peter Keating, Domonique Francon and company compels the reader to identify themselves with certain characters and provokes deep introspection. All the while,...

I completely disagree

Date of Review:  Sep 24, 1999
Review: Upon reading the review by "najdorf," I was surprised to find someone who disliked the book so vehemently and rather completely juxtaposed my view on it. Of course, anyone is entitled to his or her own "epinion" of the book, however, I think I will...

If you are this much in love with a book, a con is hard to find.

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 1999
Review: There are times one's true principles matter--a principle that cannot be crushed even by the heaviest and the strongest power of society...and Howard Roark lived his life as if it was the last time he'll be able to stand up to what his instinct and...

free will is mediocre

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2000
Review: Ayn Rand wrote this book at a time when the political powers of capitalism and socialism were just growing into the roles they would play throughout the cold war. It is another book analyzing the free will vs. determinism issue without adopting the...

Selfishness through literature.

Date of Review:  Jun 29, 2000
Review: The entire fascination with Ayn Rand baffles me. She is supposed to be this very modern philosophic writer, with emphasis on reason, but also romanticism. I was semi-intrigued by this philosophy of reason, and so I read "The Fountainhead" to find...

Useless as literature, decent as philosophy

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 1999
Review: This book sets out Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy much more than it tells a story anyone would want to read. I don't think Ayn Rand has very much value at all as an artistic author; she has no ear for dialogue, and writes pages on pages of one...

Architectural Fantasy... if there IS such a thing.

Date of Review:  May 2, 2000
Review: I may be in architecture, but I don't read a whole lot about it.

When I read, it's more for pleasure, not so much for enlightenment, though that's certainly welcome. Pleasure for me comes from fantastical worlds and wildly creative stories...

Lord, spare me from people like these...

Date of Review:  Feb 24, 2000
Review: I cannot believe I am writing two book reviews in a row on books I do not like, but this one I certainly could have passed on. The only good things about it are that it was abridged and I was listening to it on tape going to and from work.
