Summary: Excellent
Review: Excellent draft on Objectivism. A modern day BIBLE for people who believe in themselves and have a mission in life. Mark Twain was right when he rebelled against the institutional part of studies.Overall a must read for all those who are on the verge of starting a career or choosing an area for study.

Summary: High School Read
Review: I just finished The FountainHead for my A.P. English class and it was an amazing book. Howard's struggle made me love him and how easy Peter got everything angered me. I hated Ellsworth and his abuse of the power he had. It's a great book to read for a high school student because it teaches not to follow the herd and to think on your own, something few students do. Even though Howard had it rough, it payed off in the end for him. It also taught not to give in no matter how hard it seems and to stand up for what you believe in.

Summary: Better than anything you may ever have read
Review: Somebody tell Howard Roark to go get a job where he can earn a steady living and have some "security" in his life, will you? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA........Those might be the words that a second hander would utter. And yes, I do suppose that along with that very same second hander there are many many others who, if presented with howard's creative, inventive works, would rationalise/attribute the outcome of such a great man to something other than INDIVIDUAL EFFORT. The second handers, upon viewing a great building, would say either that it is not beautiful, simply because it is not of the ORDINARY (exceptional, by definition, is not of the ordinary) or would rationalize-away the greatness of the individual accomplishment of the person who designed it simply because a second hander realising and acknowledging such ability would be faced with the terrifying TRUTH of his own personal philosophy. At once, the second hander would have to acknowledge who he is and re-structure his life goals along the lines of individual accomplishment (which is NO EASY task in modern american society). Or, the second hander would follow the very same course of reasoning/rationalization which led him to his present state of group supported existence and shy away in terror from the possibility of individual greatness and accomplishment and attempt to secure himself among his "groupies" by saying something such as the first sentence of this review. And, possibly, as has been the case for several decades now, the second hander would find some feeling of security just so long as his tax-funded subsidy which he calls a pay check keeps on rolling in. If you have ever wondered just who produces that subsidy... and what would happen if such rare, select men were to simply walk-out on society, read another of Rand's great novels "atlas shrugged".

Summary: An interesting philosophy trapped in an utterly absurd novel
Review: As an architect myself I have never read an attempt as absurd as this concerning the architectural profession. Mrs. Rand makes her philosophy abundantly clear but fails to create a story that is even marginally believable. The plot is absurd, the characters shallow, and the dialogue ridiculous.

Summary: Very good
Review: Just wanted to share my two-cents. The Fountainhead as a very very good book with very well developed characters and themes. I can understand why it lasted through the test of time!

Summary: Great book
Review: Defenitely one of the best books I've read. I agree 100% with most of Ms. Rand's ideas. Her defense of selfishness is very well based and she proves her case. The characters are amazing and make you realize what the "modern" ideas are really about. As revolutionary and important today as it was when first published, especially for people living in countries such as mine, where populist and colectivist propositions still fool the majority and where freedom is not praised by many; a country where individuals are left no good options when it comes to choosing authorities. A book for people who have principals and stick to them.

Summary: Eye Opening Account of Humanity
Review: The Fountainhead is more than just a story, it goes beyond fiction. The story is rich in symbolism, and anyone who enjoys intellectual stimulation will get more out of this book than any review will tell. Rand gives quite the eye-opening account of humanity. A must read.

Summary: Absolutley Amazing
Review: The Fountianhead is an awe-inspiring novel. It's confusing throughout and quite disturbing; however, the resulting realizations are worth every troubled thought. The Fountianhead is worth reading: whether you hate it or you love it will not matter. It's inexplicable in words, the theme is somewhere in one's heart.
