The Anthem was an attention getting book right from the start. The main character was inspiring, his every action was very honorable. When reading it Anthem along with the book We, I would look forward to the twenty pages of Anthem and dread the ten pages of We. Why? The little things about the book is what made it one of our best ones this year. I liked how the paragraphs were separated by spaces. It made the read go quickly, and kept much of what Rand wanted to convey to the reader organized. I love reading about different cultures. And although this is a fictional society, the different ways of the society was interesting to read about. How the men would get jobs, the smarter ones put down and the less intelligent ones ruling the society? How ironic! Also the fact that the apple of Equality’s eye was such a far reach from him, and for what reason? Reasons of the society. It was interesting that the entire book was written using the world “we” when in fact it was an individual the entire time. It was as if there were little puzzles of the book that got resolved at the end. Resolution. That is my favorite part of the book. Any question, any confused thought was resolved at the end. Equality realized what the forbidden word was, he had a woman to start a life with and a home to keep his new family safe. That sense of hope for the main character at the end of the book is what made Anthem an excellent book.
