Title: .
Review: Aside from the fact that this basic idea had appeared at least 2 times before Ayn Rand decided to take it up, Anthem is a rather boring book. It conveys certain aspects of her philosophy decently, I suppose, and is yet again a warning that we should be on guard lest we all become meaningless automatons at some point in the future -- but that's all. As fiction, it is generally dry. It was interesting enough to hold my attention through to the end, and you'll probably have a few things to think about upon finishing -- all well and good. But overall, it feels more like intellectual propaganda in the form of a dull little parable stolen from better authors, rather than a vital and enriching work of original literature.
