I enjoyed this book, except for Ayn Rand’s ranting at the end about the power of “I” – where she sits and ghoes on and on almost insanely about how important “I” is.
It only takes about one to three days to read the whole book, so I would recommend it; because even if you don’t like it, it isn’t much of a waste of time.

I may have had some extra basing on the theme because I read it after The Screwtape Letters (by: C.S. Lewis), in which the last chapter talked about democracy.

"For 'democracy' or the 'democratic spirit' (diabolical sense)leads to a nation without great men, a nation mainly of subliterates, morally flaccid from lack of discipline in youth, full of the cocksureness which flattery breeds on ignorance, and soft from lifelong pampering."

So I had a whole chapter of what equallizing society meant, before I read Anthem.

and this is just a random thought that I strongly felt while reading the book -
I always thought Anthem would make a really good graphic novel series.

The book was not only poorly written but obvious and shameless propaganda. The book unfairly pigeon holes all collective societies to the backwards clusterfuck portrayed in this book. Imagery in the book is tiresome and poorly described and characters are forgettable.
