My desire to choose such, hm..., strange books is frightening me. But let's leave my daemons aside. Reading "Anthem" alerted me with an unusual narrative: "we", "our", "they" were used to describe both the narrator and others. There were no such words as "Me", "Myself" or "I" in the biggest part of the book, as in the world of the main character they are forbidden to speak. It was intriguing and of course it left some confusion in me, because at first it was hard to sort singulars and plurals. The people in this book aren't individuals and individuality is doomed. Even their names are strange: Equality 7-2521 or Liberty 5-3000. The strongest part of this book (and the most attractive) is the struggle to find identity, individuality and freedom. Though with some limitations. 
 As I like when strong female and tough male characters blend, this book was definitely not my type, because any such allusion was removed. The society and the main activists are distinctly masculine, with no star identity for women in the book. The only significant woman gets her short praise but She quickly turns into an insignificant support. She is all love and devotion and He is more interested in reading. She even can't get her own name, when at last He discovers freedom and his "I", He does that for her. Even after freeing himself He doesn't want to free all the people in the damned city, just some of his friends, who are male of course. Oh, and what happens when She is expecting a child. The child will definitely be a boy. Eh, and who is She to judge the wonderful masculine world in this book, She is just a helpless woman near the feet of the WONDERFUL man, who is so kind to lead her. Jesus Christ with the holy Mary! 
 I just can't believe that this book was written by a woman.
