"I don't think I have, but to Rand they were heroes. "

Yeah. I wanted to like the book.I was going through a profoundly libertarian period and all the libertarians raved about it. While reading it, I quickly came to the conclusion that the only reason those characters were alive is because they lived in a society that had a lot of laws and restrictions. If they had lived in a society like Ayn envisioned, someone would have potted their sorry asses long ago.

Rand was not a very good writer.

Come on, the sex scenes are great. They claw each other until they bleed.

Her heros at least had principles - and did their best to live by them. Anything wrong with that?
