Negative Positive
Title: More than just a long book
Review: Like "War and Peace", or "Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire"; this is one of those really long books that all "big-time readers" should tackle at least once in their lifetimes.While there are some overly long-winded and boring parts - most notably Galt's speech near the end of the book - the book manages to keep ones interest, and there are some decently exciting moments... and I got a laugh out of Francisco's hurried response to the Guard's question; "What's your business?" - "Copper Mining!".If you are really left-leaning, you will probably find this book insulting, as the government and anti-business types are made to look like dopes, weasels, and/or out-right thieves.In any event, the basic premise of the book (of looters, moochers, and beggars taking advantage of the producers) has merit, and there were many instances when I was made to think about real-life analogies.You know, I'm willing to bet that Ronald Reagan read and enjoyed this book.
