Done and over with, finally!!!

Huhhh.. Finally i will be able to write about other things, am finally done with the damn book. Fountain Head. All i can say is that the experience was exasperating. And yet i could not put down the book, had to finish it because of its brilliant story line. That was the only good thing about the book. There was no characterization in the book whatsoever. It was only Ayn... all along in the whole book. Ayn = Dominique = Roark = Wynand = Toohey = Peter Keating. Peter had no identity when he was talking, he could have been anyone. I couldn't understand where Roark began and Wynand began. Is that what Ayn intended? I don't know. What i know is that everyone spoke the same language in the same tone and everyone was looking for this profound thing.
When you read a book you forget that its been written by someone...all the characters, the places.. all come alive..so that by the end you know all of them so well. In Fountain Head i was always aware of the fact that Ayn was talking to me. The places that she described, the architecture was all so difficult to construct in the mind so that the places remained unreal.
Anyway... I did like the story and the fact that she has offered a different way of looking at some of the concepts that we have held for generations like - selfishness, selflessness, ego, religion, love.
Yesterday a friend asked which book was i reading, i told her. She asked me if the book was good and if she should read it. I still haven't found whether i want to recommend this book or ask people to stay away.
