Every time I read a book, I secretly hope it will give me the mix of philosophy / history / character drama that Huxley's Brave New World offers. This time, it did.
Ayn Rand's writing is exceptional and this book so accurately captures the war between the individual and the collective, within the Russian Revolution and beyond. The temperament of the characters is relatable, powerful and understated.
Definitely a top 5 book for me. I can't wait to read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
