Title: I returned this one to get my money back....
Review: First of all I should say that while I read alot, the vast majority of my reading is non-fiction. So that may be one reason why I found this book was so intellectually tepid. Second, I returned this book halfway through because it was so silly. While I am an Independent who favors economic liberalism, I found Rand's plot and arguments sooo corny and contrived. It was like those horrible late-night info-mercials were the players act so over-the-top excited about a product. Rand did not develop counter-agruments to her thesis to the degree expected in a serious philosophical work. Thus it lacked any ability to stimulate or convince me, due to its mind-numbing use of straw man fallacy and abysmal employment of dialectic.I must say in defense of the book that it's most interesting part, contrary to what others have said, was John Galt's oratory.
Is the review positive or negative?
