5 stars for being a ludicrously entertaining soap opera. The most lurid, overdone philosophical text I've ever read (probably because I haven't gotten to Atlas Shrugged yet).Whether you agree with Rand's ideas or not (please say you don't!), it's pretty damn entertaining to watch them played out via...
This book is difficult. Once I struggled through it, I adored the characters and their struggle for understanding, but it did take me a while. It's definitely not a beach-read ... it takes concentration, but I think it's worth it.
I have a complicated relationship with The Fountainhead. I first read it when I was 22, and actually fantasized about being Howard Roark. So strong, principled and uncompromising!

As a teenager, like most teenagers brought up well, I loved all of Ayn Rand's work. Now I obviously see the flaws, but that doesn't mean that it isn't a great book that should be read by ambitious teenagers for a long long time.
I read this mostly because one of my students back in high school was reading it. She was reading it for an essay contest, so in order to help out, I felt I needed to read the book as well. When I read it, I found myself identifying with the character of Roark at times and his struggle against conve...
This is the only Ayn Rand book I might recommend to someone but it comes with a half-hearted recommendation. It is a soap opera with ideas. It is an entertaining read that allows the reader to ingest the Ayn Rand ideology in a half-way interesting tale about the struggles of an architect. Unfortunat...
