Ahh, The Fountainhead. I gave it 4 stars Because it is not quite as good as Atlas Shrugged. But then again, if you are reading this you probably have not read book did either. Look no further for a book about a man who does not know the meaning of the word "compromise", Howard Roark. Some people tend to take everything very literally (at least judging by other reviews). Howard Roark is a man who will not let his ideals be torn asunder by his coworkers, so-called friends, and associates. Neither will the media take him down. Is is an idyllic tale of a man who did something we all want to do: chase his dream. If there's something wrong with that, then I suppose we are all in some real trouble and this book is not going to help!
