I read the FountainHead a while back and wanted to desperately write a review of the book… But as luck had it, When I was interested I did not get the time and when I got the time the mood was out of the window. Anyway before I start to explain what the subject line means I feel its important to give a short review of the book.
The moment I started reading The FountainHead I realized this book is going to be special. The first 100 pages were just addictive, I feel that among all the characters Peter Keating was the only one who was life like. Everyone else seemed too pretentious to my taste… It reminds me of movies with a clear cut difference between the good, manipulative and bad. The good cant be anything but good and the bad cant be anything but bad. Dominique was the only character I felt for actually… lot of people who read the book told me that they could not get why she did those things but I was least surprised when I read the book. Howard Roark… What do I say about the hero of the book? I hated him from the word go… I just could not get why someone would do things that he did in a way that he did, at least until last week.
To understand the rest of this post you will probably should have read the book. In case you haven’t please do, it might just be the best book ever.
