Helpful Score: 1

Is this Ayn Rand's shortest book? No, that was We the Living. This is a good one--better than Atlas Shrugged. If you have to choose one Ayn Rand book to read, I suggest The Fountainhead; this is the second one I would recommend. Her themes are repetitous and blunt--she is hardly subtle, and is even cartoonish in places. But everyone should read at least one Rand book, just to know what his or her teenager is brooding about. :) Perfect for the late-adolescent sensibility, and the ideas are interesting, if delivered in a bit of a bludgeoning style.
