" Some of things that Ayn Rand brought up were interesting, although I've seen similar themes written better in other works. Overall, it wasn't bad but I don't think it was very realistic. As someone who works in the engineering field, Rand's use of architecture, design and material was not one point. It detracted from her overall message of objectivism. I think her story would have been stronger if she wasn't so long-winded on situations and people that didn't really matter. While some speeches were pretty good, others were so long and pointless that it dragged the story down. I think if someone wants to read an Ayn Rand book, Anthem is better than the Fountainhead. The short length of Anthem makes it more interesting, thus the message is more powerful. "
