This was a Book Club book during my sophomore year of high school, and I finished it mainly to prove that I could, because it was so long. No one else in Book Club finished it, though, so we did not end up discussing it, which made the time I spent reading it feel doubly wasted.

Well, this book was my punishment for wanting to be culturally literate and I guess now, at least on this one topic, I am now aware of what people are talking about when they talk about Ayn Rand and "Who is John Galt". I give this two stars both for the absolute flatness and lack of depth both of the characters and the politics....endless black and white discussions unedited apparently cause all the "good guys" go on and on and on and on and UGH...and the bad guys occasionally whine for a bit as act like asses and that is it for the whole freakin' book.

a decade long passion project starting as a (somewhat) competent piece of fiction in the first third, only for Rand's brain to be turned into mush somewhere along the way. she begins to use the lead female protagonist as a self-insert for herself, and has to justify her anarcho-capitalist worldview with literal magic by the end lol. it's really really really funny, so i have to give it some credit!
