Title: Put on the hip waders for this one
Review: This parable is pretty much the anti-Steinbeck. Where Steinbeck has marvelous prose and love for his characters, Rand has stilted language and remarkably two-dimensional portrayals. The central message appears to be that the magic of "I" is all anyone really needs. An appalling book whose near-fascist tendencies should have long ago consigned it to the junk-heap of historical curiousities. There's no real merit here at all.
