Title: The worst book I've read in my life
Review: This is far and away the worst book that I've read cover-to-cover in my life. It purports to demonstrate the "logical outcome" of collectivism, and fails miserably at this task. What's more, it's written in a "biblical" or mythical tone, something that Rand does not pull off in the least. This book succeeds much better when read as a critique of Rand, as her ideas are potrayed in an utterly pathetic manner.To be fair, this is one of her earlier works, when she was still experimenting as a writer and at expressing herself in English. I was inspired to read it after having read her excellent novel on individualism, "The Fountainhead". If interested in reading some Rand, I very strongly recommend that you read that book instead. To make it clear: I don't hate Rand; I hate pretentious writing and philosophical work that consists of constructing flimsy strawmen and tearing them down.
