A review by halynah
We the Living by Ayn Rand

5.0

What is the most terrible fact is that this book is fiction only in terms of certain characters, but all the rest is not a fiction. Soviets did that with people, and it got much worse later. Ayn Rand is lucky, that she managed to flee to the USA, and we, readers, are lucky too, because if she stayed in Russia, there would be no Ayn Rand, no Atlas Shrugged or the Fountainhead, this brilliant woman would have been destroyed by that vicious red plague, like so many others were destroyed by them, and we would not have such books as hers to admire and adore.
Emotionally devastating book, but a definite must-read.
