This was genuinely an entertaining book until Rand loses it and just starts whining. It took me about 2 weeks to read through most of the book and then 3 weeks to read the last few chapters. I would have been a lot more willing to listen to this perspective had it not been presented so defensively & angrily, which morphed the text into weird justifications for horrible things
