Author: Ayn Rand Type: Fiction Genre: Philosophy, Architecture Reader's Objective: To know about Objectivism Notebook: Rating: ** Review: This is the first novel with 850+ pages I read. It's an old 1943 book. The author provides details about the environment and human emotions while narrating the plot. Felt like I was watching a movie. The speech that Howard Roack gives in his trial is everything a person interested in understanding Objectivism should read.
