Negative Positive
Title: Horribly written, painful to read.
Review: I decided to try to read this again because it is supposed to be the inspiration for all our present day neo-con thought. I tried to read it in high school and only made it about half way through, which is very unusual for me. I now understand why I didn't finish it so long ago. I won't go into great detail because I'm sure others have, but this book is totally unbelievable and the characters don't engender any sympathy. I could care less what happened to them. They never came alive to me.As a philosophy, objectivism as expressed in this book seems to be little more than complete selfishness. It's alright to do anything to anyone to achieve what you want. It's ironic to me that so many Christians have adopted Ayn Rand as their hero when her philosophy so closely resembles Satanism.If you are in the market for a novel there are many good ones out there. This is not one of them. If you are looking for philosophy, I think there are easier ways to get it.
Is the review positive or negative?
