Title: Poorly written, overly long, political screed
Review: Please note: I am writing this purely from a literary standpoint, this is not a commentary on objectivism.I found "Atlas Shrugged" to be one of the most boring, poorly written books I have ever read. Ms. Rand attempts to make up in volume what she lacks in talent, and that makes for a series of very tedious evenings for the casual reader.The characters are flat and hackneyed, the plot is tedious, and the long pages of political diatribe, while sure to please the acolytes of the author, do nothing to move the story along.I was disappointed, for I truly enjoyed "The Fountainhead" - a story that, if you skip over the speeches, is a rather enjoyable romance novel about architects. I had hoped for a similar book. Unfortunately, this was a far inferior product.
