review 1: It's been a few years since I read the actual book, which I enjoyed. It was a nice refresher to see it in the graphic novel form. There was a minor (or very major) slip up when the author of the graphic novel threw the word "I" into the narration very early on. This is a big no-no to the story line because, as those who know the story will agree, the story is all "We, we, we" until late in the book. But I did my best to overlook that slip and thought the visualization of Anthem was a fun way to look at it. It also makes me want to read the original again.One more thing of note: I wish that it was in color. It's only really a sketch illustration throughout, and felt lacking, but I'm not graphic novel enthusiast, so I'm not complaining much.
review 2: No complain... morets about the quality of the graphic novel. But the underlying Rand story is alternatively comical and insidious. I've never read any of Rand's novels, so my perspective on her work is strictly picked up from read ABOUT her. Suffice to say, this novel confirmed the broad-strokes view of Rand as glorifying selfish concerns over all else. When the grand secret word was revealed as "ego", I just laughed. less
