Negative Positive
Title: Objective-tastic!
Review: Objectivism isn't philosophy folks. It's like, "Philosophy for Dummies." My first day of my Social Sciences class at college, I, having read AS, I piped up and said that Smith's "Wealth of Nations" was similar in a few aspects to Atlas Shrugged and Ayn Rand's views on objectivism. They looked at me like I had just thrown up all over the floor. No one who has anything to do with academia takes crap like Atlas Shrugged seriously, and if you asked them to belt out a list of philosophers, Ayn Rand might make the top 1000. Anyway, Rand does an... alright job of synthesizing some broad ideas, but another thing that bothers me is that it's not very good writing. It's not awful... it's just mediocre, and trudging through over a thousand pages took it out of me something fierce, like having to read 3 da vinci codes, only, you know, less action-packed.Anyway, don't delude yourselves into thinking Ayn Rand is a philosopher, because she's not. She's an AUTHOR.
Is the review positive or negative?
