Atlas Shrugged - Excellent

Ranked #9,261 in Books, Poetry & Writing, #325,563 overall

Archetypal extremes

Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged stretches the boundaries further than any book you have ever read. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder--and rebirth--of man's spirit.

Atlas Shrugged

Ayn's characters are taken to archetypal extremes to illustrate her point. If you can get past that, this book explores some interesting concepts that I continually find myself thinking back to and relating to modern events.

If you agree with her philosophy you should encourage others to read this book. If this book is so clearly wrong then you should encourage others to read it so they will see how clearly wrong it is. Those that want it burned or object to others reading it know that she offers some very strong arguments for a position they clearly do not want to be true.

Ayn Rand is a writer of great power. She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly.
