A review by dale_kooyenga
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

4.0

Really enoyed, but I'm a bigger fan of her Fountainhead although the concensurs from others is that this is her better work. I wouldn't recommend reading this very long book in close proximity to Fountainhead since the themes are very similar -- railroads/steel versus building/architecture. You don't have to adopt Rand's liberatarian perspective to appreciate the novel, politics aside it's a great work. I also appreciate the libertatian message but I don't adopt it in whole. For one, I need to reconcile with my faith as a Christain and those principles take priorty over the Rand appoach. Some books are best reviewed over an in person conversatino over this format - this is one. No matter what your politics this is a must read.
