Anthem... "I am the meaning"

Ayn Rand in the writing of Anthem was absolutely brilliant! I loved this book from beginning to the very last word... "Ego."

Though this book was written for the future, it was very easy to feel every emotion and live through everything that Equality 7-2521 was dealing with.

I do not agree with all of Ayn Rand's opinion and theories outside of Anthem, but to my great surprise, she did not force these ideas in her story. Those philosophies were used to mold the story, but it was not used to sway my opinions and ideas.

This is a great book for anyone struggling to find their place in this world. Equality 7-2521 struggles to find himself in this world of "brotherhood" and this brings the question to mind, "where do you stand?"

This book challenges what you know and what you believe to true. Being as opinionated as I am, beginning the book I knew what I believed and how I felt on certain ideas, but in reading this even I sat back and thought again.

If I could only recommend one book to read, this would be that one.
