This is the first book that I have read. I am not guy who is fond of books. But my fiyancee is totally crazy about this book. She insisted me to read this book. And believe me, I feel everyone who is getting married, must read this book. It gives you a real picture of life. This is actually a love story of two persons who are highly ambitious in their own way. It does not advice anyting but it passes a message that how one can achieve goals in life. If we can become like Howard Roark, success can never stop us. Practically its too hard to become like it. Even if we become some part of him, life will be good. I personally recommand to read this. After this there is Atlas Shrugged. That is also one of the Master Piece.
