Customer Reviews

A brilliant compendium to an already brilliant book.

Folks, what is rather amusing is that the Cliff Notes for the book is nearly just as long as the actual book. That is why I love it: it provides such a nice analysis to a perfect book. If you are as much of a fan of Anthem as I am, then how can you NOT have this thought-provoking guide to go along with it? Hmm??? -Monroe Mann Unstoppable Artists, LLC Co-Author, "Guerrilla Networking" with Jay Levinson Author, "Time Zen", "The Theatrical Juggernaut" and others.

A surprise

I have read Anthem many times and I was pleasantly surprised by this cliffsnotes summary and analysis of the book. It includes a short biography of Ayn Rand but the bulk of the book is spent on a detailed going over of Ayn Rand's plot, theme, and characters. It is fascinating to read an intelligent analysis of the characters I love. The gems of the book are the three critical essays; The Meaning and Importance of "I", The Role of Free Will in Anthem, and the Regression of a Future Collectivist Society into a Second Dark Age. This book is written by an Objectivist author and is definately worth buying.
