I'm sad that this one had to end but at least it ended with everyone I care about being happy. I good go on and on about how much I've loved every sentence but then I would never get around to reading another book, ever.
The best part of the book for me was part four, chapter eleven. I have to remember to reread that every time I am feeling lost or that I am not being my true self.
Of course I am happy that Roark and Dominique are together in the end, I was getting worried that a love like theirs could never become an actual relationship. The calculated way that Roark waited for her to be ready to become his wife seems almost mathematical. Both of them had such self control that they were able to wait for as long as they did to come together as a united force.
This book has really made me take a look at my own life and my own views of the world. I feel that Rand has unlocked a door for me into a new world of politics and theories that I have never been interested in before. Prior to this book I thought that such things were only for highly intellectual and highly annoying people but I can see the benefit now in having a strong opinion. Although I haven't taken the time yet research and ponder what I believe in, I know that it is something that I will do now, having read this book. Its a daunting task to solidify a viewpoint on an issue that I can respect myself for and defend but I think that it will also help me become the person I'm meant to be. So thank you Ayn.
