Ayn Rand at her best

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2000
Review: Ayn Rand caught my interest as a junior in high school and has been a favorite of mine from then on. I was required to read Anthem in school. As soon as I finished I read every Ayn Rand book I could find. The Fountainhead is the best of Rand. She...

This book is great

Date of Review:  Mar 20, 2000
Review: Ayn Rand is the best author that I've ever read. The ideas that she lays out not only in The Fountainhead but also in Atlas Shrugged are some of the most challenging ideas ever put in print. To think of man as something to exalt and to think that...

Fountainhead - an Amazing Novel

Date of Review:  Oct 19, 1999
Review: Like Ghostwriter, I completely disagree with najdorf. Ayn Rand writes a phenomenal novel, using an interesting storyline to illustrate her philosophy. The character development is outstanding. I truly felt that I knew exactly who Howard Roark was...

The Fountainhead is a Spectacular Work

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2000
Review: The Fountainhead was published in 1943, 14 years before Ayn Rand's masterpiece, and is equally spectacular. The Fountainhead follows the career of Howard Roark, beginning with the line "Howard Roark Laughed", upon his expulsion of the leading...

The Spirit of Objectivism

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 1999
Review: "Fountainhead" in one of the most successful integrations of fiction and philosophy in literature. It is a literary manifestation of Rand's concept of Objectivism, and it's purpose is to tie this philosophy to a concrete example and champion, Howard...

Go to the head of the .. err... Fountain.

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2000
Review: While my reading habits tend toward science fiction and fantasy, I generally try to mix in a smattering of non-fiction and "literature". Having heard a little of Ayn Rand and her popular and controversial social and political theories, I decided to...

Big book for small minds

Date of Review:  Jul 12, 2000
Review: Ostensibly an anthem for humanists gathering under the banner of "Objectivism", The Fountainhead tells the parallel tale of two men. The first, Howard Roark, is a strong-willed individualistic genius architect who avoids any semblance of success for...
