I read this when I was younger and did not enjoy it even then when I understand many people are captivated by the ideas it presents. I would have just forgotten about it like so many other mediocre books in the past, but my current employment brought it to my attention again. Both our CEO and com...
What I loved - almost every aspect of the overall message, several of the characters (some less and less as the book went on), and the foresight required for a monumental work with such depth and meaningWhat I didn't like - the length...it drags on and on in places (I like long books, but the descri...
Ayn Rand is one of my favorite authors and I have only read Atlas Shrugged. I saw the first two movies after a friend had mentioned them and loved the subject matter. After being sadly disappointed with the third movie (Atlas Shrugged Part III), I felt compelled to read the book. The first two movie...
I'm so thrilled that I finally read this! I have sort of a love-hate relationship with this book. There were momentns when I thought I was crazy for reading it and other times when I loved it. It's very heavy reading. She could have chopped 400 pages off and it would have been a better novel, but I ...

In ten words or less: It's a horrible, terrible book and you should read it. Ayn Rand's 1168 page behemoth is listed under classics and fiction, though, I fail to understand how it fits under either genre. Atlas Shrugged is a poorly written, illogical propaganda manifesto without even a semblance ...
I AM DONE. Finally. Not four months as I thought but almost three. Because of some things I was linked to—thing one, thing two—I am definitely writing a review. If I ever recover to write coherently again (HA!). Post-it count: 314 (I sort of lost my spirit towards the end and started letting thi...
I could forgive it its philosophical premise if it was better written. 500 pages too long, and still full of cartoonish villains and ridiculous, melodrama punctuated with long, repetitive philosophical discourses. What frightens me most about the book is that so many people seem blind to its flaws, ...
This is truly a classic. I really liked it and the way dystopians have become now. This is really one of the original ones. I really liked the concept. With that being said. I have to give it a 3.5 stars because of the pacing. It is one of the lsrgest Book in existence that isn't a collection or bin...
Seeing some of the reviews for this novel I thought I'd put in my own two knuts for a book I think is often mischaracterized and unfairly reviled (Often I suspect by people who've never read it--or not beyond five pages before hurtling it across the room). This was among the most seminal books I've ...
