Title: Shockingly... disturbing.
Review: A striking irony concerning Ayn Rand's work is that it generally appeals more to the mindless and ignorant, rather than the free-thinkers she claims to champion. I suppose one reason for this is that her philosophy leaves no room for dissent or original thought - you either take it all or nothing. Even Rand herself has trouble overcoming her lack of ideas as she struggles (rather unsuccessfully) to fill out an original monologue for each of her heroes through the course of the books 1000 pages.As for those willing to read Rand objectively, the most I can say for her is that she makes sense -- sometimes. Rand starts off simple enough ("A" is "A"), but soon thereafter cooks up such a furious mess of twisted logic that you'll either write it off immediately or become hooked. Don't worry though- like any fine narcotic, Rand's effect will wear off once you realize you've become miserable and peerless. Just don't overdose.
