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...
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 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.

This is a collection of Ayn Rand's early unpublished fiction. I wouldn't recommend this to someone not already a fan of her writing.

Ayn Rand's ideas are so controversial and notorious I think it's hard for many to evaluate her novels fairly. I am an admirer, even if not an uncritical one, and think if you read only one novel of hers, it probably should be Atlas Shrugged--that's the book that best represents her philosophy if you...
