Starts well but gets draggy and verbose... just cannot understand the characters' motivations or agree with Rand's objectivism philosophy. I do think however it is worth a read. At least it's provocative.
No lo terminé. Me desesperó la narración, los discursos que duran páginas enteras, la filosofía a través del diálogo y la idealización del materialismo y el egoísmo. Quizá en otro momento.
This is the second time I'm reading this book (I'm sure author has much more more for the third time too!), before writing my views about the book, reason being, the first time I felt too short of words to truly define the magnificence of the characters, and to do a justice with the deep rooted phil...

Rand, who repeatedly touts the idea of streamlining and efficiency in art, spends over SEVEN HUNDRED pages saying what could have been said in less than 100. But...
Is there a way to give negative stars? Overly long with repetitious scenes, characters who speak in long prepared speeches, an unpleasant black and white moral scheme, psychological tone deafness, and an ending that beggars belief.
is there anything better than coming back to your favorite book and finding it as glorious as you remember?i try to read often and a lot and i've never come across a book i love better.what strikes me every time i read this book is how much i don't agree with her actual point (or some of them) but h...
