Wow. Now that's a longread.

There's some interesting ideas in the book - ideas that were completely new to me. The story is not half bad, nor is the writing. It has its shortcomings - straw man reasoning the most obvious one.

What I don't get is why people would get upset over Ayn Rand's ideas. Disagree - yes, but upset? They're outlandish, immoral nor revolting as far as I can see.
