Title: Masterful writing and story
Review: I've read this voluminous book 3 times. Like anything else you take what is good from it. I was never an Objectionist, I just love the individulaistic ideals presented in the story and I loved the heroic characters who did what they felt was right in spite of the world being against them. To me that has always been the theme of the book. But what is amazing is how over the years I have seen the very frightening government policies which were parodies in the book come to life. In a way it has been quite prophetic. Ayn Rand herself was a very flawed character so I would never want to emulate her life. But the idea of individuals standing against a world which wants to destroy the sanctity of freedom of thought and ideas is very attractive in an age of political correctness and government intrusion into private property, businesses and lives.
Is the review positive or negative?
