Negative Positive
Title: Sick, superficial, & absolutist (& that's being nice!)
Review: What an awful book! A thousand plus pages of cardboard characters who are either all-good or all-bad, a simplistic ideology that, I think, reflects her native Russia a hell of a lot better than the US, where it's set. This IS the land of you work hard you get more. Are we that starved for contrarian ideas that we'll embrace anything? If you want a philosophical justification for not caring about your fellow man, & are simple-minded, this book is for you. Me personally, I'll take compassion any old day. I mean, we're supposed to feel sorry for American industrialists? Since when are they persecuted here? (poor Mr Rockefeller! Oh, Mr. Gates, how horribly you're treated in this country!) Give me a freakin break!
