Liked It8 of 14 members found this review helpful “Socialists beware: you will not relish this book. I think that is the main reason I loved this book so much. Sometimes the truth hurts people. This book was a fascinating read and glimpse into the mind of a great, visionary author. Rand is a ruthless exposer of things as they really are, although...” see full review » see other reviews » |
Didn’t Like It11 of 21 members found this review helpful “I once heard Gloria Steinem say that Ayn Rand was smart, but had no sense of humor. After reading this, I can believe she didn't have a sense of humor. I can't imagine she was that smart--at least about human nature.

“I admire some things about Ayn Rand, like her unapologetic atheism, but I don't admire her rightwing views. That's not even the problem with this book though. The problems are many: It's too long, poorly written, and in-your-face.”

“Reading review #13. I really like this book i like how Dagney take things into her own hands and tries to save hers and her brothers company and change the world for the better.

“I know she's a hypocrite, but Ayn Rand creates books that are undeniably a necessity to read. I didn't think I'd love anything other than the Fountainhead, but then I met John, Dagny, and Henry.

I honestly think Ayn Rand got religion more than she lead on and I tend to agree with her on some points. I must be honest, I would name one of my kids Hank because of this book and because of the love it possesses for the mind.”
“Monumental work on philosophy of virtue and creative energy in the world.”

“Little lengthy, skipped the 50 page over redundant rant at the end, but still enjoyed it. Recommended read.”
