The images of the characters were extremely simple and true to life
. While reading the book, you will get the feeling, that The Fountainhead is an easy read (but lengthy). The way Ayn Rand has managed to successfully portray the different characters, is simply amazing. The time when the book was released, people were used to the stories about the rich and the beautiful and the honest writing of Ayn Rand came as a breath of fresh air for them. Ayn Rand covered the entire journey of Howard Roark, and the readers felt all the pain, happiness and the spirit of win at the end.
