Atlas Shrugged

I really don't know how to even begin reviewing this book. On one level, I see it as a demonstraiton of Ayn Rand's idea of Objectivity. It is readly heavily played: the “good” characters preach it, live it, and thrive in it. There is even an extremely long speech toward the end of the book outlining absolutely everything.

On the other hand, I see it as a woman's struggle in a man's profession, dealing with a passion that is considered masculine, and making choices in her life that women weren't considered “able” to make at that point in time.

I highly suggest reading it. It is a book to be experienced. But I do understand why so many people either strongly love or loath this book. Either you can handle being preached to and enjoy the story for what it is capable of doing or you get annoyed with her soapbox.
