“What a long book!
I enjoyed this book. It was a lot of reading and even more thinking.
I couldn't help but place the America of today in the America of the book. Things are so close! And I can see us ending up the same, too, if we don't change our path.
This epic novel is filled with Rand's philosophy. While I agree with her politically, I disagree with a lot of her philosophy.
But the story was good reading.
Dagny Taggart is the main character and it's her against the political world. She runs a railroad and is forced to fight politics and the public over and over.
Along the way she meets up with a few people of same mind, and they team up to take on society.
There's a bit of everything in this book: Action, mystery, love, lust, hate....
I recommend it, but only if you read with an open mind (but not too open).”

“It took me over a year but somehow I got through it. I actually agree with many of the tenets of Rand's philosophy, Objectivism, but I think she sucked as a novelist. It is not an easy read, much like eating Saltines without anything to drink. I felt I should read it because I needed to know why so many people seem to hate Ayn Rand. Call me nuts but I might just try to get through it again before I die.”

“I liked this book, but there were parts that I found really slow. It took me about three months to read it and it is going to be a while before I take on another really long book!”
