“Jim h, it sounds like you have more of a dislike for the ideas suggested in Anthem rather than the actual book. Like most of her books, Rand encourages readers to think about individualism, so I'm not really sure how much more subtle an author can be with that, you know?
Furthermore, I think is dangerous to start comparing things to Nazi idealisms. That kind of comparison is exactly how people get riled up about banning books.
I think if anyone did like this book and is into YA lit, they should check out Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series and Lois Lowry's The Giver (and sequels to Giver).”
