My then 11-year-old daughter and I listened to this during a beach vacation and loved every minute. Removed my fear of Ayn Rand!

Inspiring epic about the struggle of a society to accept the individual.

I can't understand how such a poorly written book, that tells a mediocre story can be thought of so highly. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, Rand writes fiction as if it were a painful duty

I'm torn. As a book that changed the course of my life, one that find myself reading about once a decade, as a book that stands for something that I needed to hear, I have it 8 stars out of 5. However as literature, as an example of great writing, I give it 3 stars out of 5.
In the end the impact of the book on me and others I know, outweighs the means in which it is delivered.
