review!!review!!

This year, I’ve been reading some of the best books I’ve ever come in contact with. The Fountainhead is Ayn Rand’s philosophical work illustrating her vision of the ideal man and his struggle with the forces of modern evil. This one of the most interesting, solid, intelligent works of fiction I’ve ever read. All of the characters, even the dumb ones, have individual mazes of thought. This book is crammed with brilliant speeches, bombastic lies, and fractured ideologies....
the book is about an architect named Howard Roark who gets kicked out of school for refusing to do any design work that insults his creative genius.Roark pays his dues, gets laughed at a lot, seldom gets any credit for anything, but lives with the knowledge that his precious integrity is intact, its bout keating who uses Roark’s ideas to gain success in the world of architecture, its bout Ellsworth Toohey, a famous social worker and columnist who preaches altruism merely to keep people subservient to his wishes,its bout dominque,a perfect priestess, a perfect match to howard, its bout gail wynand...ma favorite character in d book...
what i like most bout the book is the pardafaash it does bout altruistic damn oafs on earth.[ellsworth tooheys]...our world is crammed with ppl like him. bloody double standard klutzs.collective thinking sucks. it kills the creator in ppl and lowers the bar of humans level....
....a magical book..i used 2 stay awake it till 4 in d morning readin d book...a real classic!

Hi,

I stumbled upon your post in the fountainhead community in orkut.I do not wish to criticize your writing on the review about fountainhead but there are is one point i want to focus:

ALTRUISM IS NOT CRAP.Actually this largely depends upon how you see altruism as:is your view is genralised or is pertaining to fountainhead??....Since your writing deals with the later i will assume that but it actually is a pity that Altruism is viewed only from one angle(the fountainhead one).
