SUPER SUPER BOOK!

If you want to read it, I can lend it. LEND because I want to have it forever!

Howard Roark will be your hero after reading this novel! It's a long one but not hard to read. It's actually good that it's long, because I didn't want it to end!

I learned what amazing literature is all about!
This is an excellent book that you all were probably forced to read. I never was, but am glad that I have read it. It was an excellent tale of a family caught in the troubles of "progress" Probably the best ending of any book I have ever read. Really kicks you in the caboose!
