Title: A Great Portrayal of the Future Gone Bad
Review: "Anthem" is an absolute gem of a book. It is a dark tale that makes the reader consider the negative aspects of collectivism. At the same time, it provides the satisfaction of "hope for the future" by the end of the novel that 1984 lacks. It is short and concise, providing just enough detail to spark the imagination and feed the soul (unlike some unsatisfactory pieces that are crowned with supposedly flattering words such as "sparse"). Therefore, I highly recommend this book--in only a couple of hours, you can get all the moral eye-openers and romantic elements that longer reads such as "1984" and "Farenheight 451" provide.
