I knew going into Anthem that I wasn’t going to necessarily agree with what Ayn Rand had to say. What I was hoping for at the very least was a well-thought out story that could put me in a certain individualistic mindset so that when our protagonist comes to his philosophical revelation at the end, I can go “Yeah, I can see why someone in this situation would come to this conclusion.” It fails to do this. The quality of the storytelling does not at all make up for its strange moral compass. It simply cannot be compared to other classics that were written around the time of its publication.
Moderate: Torture
Minor: Adult/minor relationship
