This book definitely gets top marks from me. The writing was descriptive without being too poetic. However, Rand can get too long-winded at times and repetitive. Furthermore, though I am not one to fear long books, this one was extremely long with parts that I believe could have been condensed to be more captivating. The momentum got lost in the dialog at times. Still, the plot and the characters were dynamic. They represent an extreme type of person, but still maintain a warm quality about them. I really liked Dagny, the main character in the story, who represented a strong woman without having any feminist motives. Without giving anything away, the book is about an alter United States in which the government is becoming more socialist controlling businesses and at the same time becoming more corrupt. The story focuses around the struggle of major industry players who fight for capitalism and the right to control their own destiny, but in a surprising way. I am a complete fan of this book and recommend this book to readers who like a good philosophical story.
