The year 2005 marks Ayn Rands Centennial Year.

The astounding story of a man that said that he would stop the motor of the worldand did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is unlike any other book you have ever read.

Prophetic for our times September 3, 2010
Fiesty Alice
I have only read 98 pages to date. I can see the seeds of today's corporate and political mind sets.
Well worth the read.

Atlas shrugged and welfare died? Yeah, at least in this one. September 3, 2010
Dr. Cardinal (Free of the Mountains!!!!!)
This is Rand's best work and the largest as well. The basic message of the book is the consequences associated with making some dependent to provide the needs of others at more than a basic level. IN this book, those who are successful are forced to turnover their genius and industry in order to support others at the level they demand. The others do not have to strive to get what they desire, but rather only ask government for it, and those who do are forced to comply. Well, those who do quit and drop out of the system, and this book details the consequences. It is not a pleasant world after the do so. Although the book is fiction, it is something that we should be familiar with as the US moves to adopting the model of country that ruined things in this book. A great read and enlightening. Get it and enjoy.

Good delivery. This book is very, very, very, long. That is no fault of the seller. I bought it to enter a book report contest, only to find I would not be able to finish this book! It is all text, no pictures that I could find.

Beautifully Written Capitalist Manifesto... September 1, 2010
LeoWiedersheim
I picked this up at a friend's second home in the white mountains. (I think it is one of those books you may leave lying around the house to impress your friends even though you do not really have the time or fortitude to completely read it.) It is a hefty 1200 pages with a microscopic font size... I wanted to read it because I had a vague notion that it was an important work. I had no other sense of what the book was about.

What I found is that it is a naked attempt at being a Capitalist Manifesto - expounding the virtues of hard work and how that is motivated by the pursuit of profit. Not only does it extol the virtues of the profit motive, it argues quite forcefully that the success and even survival of society depends on it.

At times it is beautifully written - striking really. Other times it drones on as a thesis of political philosophy... On the whole it was worth the read - but I am certain that it could have easily made its arguments in half as many words.

A BORING BOOK BASED ON A BIZARRE PHILOSOPHY! August 30, 2010
christopher (chicago)
1 out of 4 found this review helpful

I was introduced to Ayn Rand in my high school philosophy class and began buying her books. she is a philosopher and even her novels are transparently manifestos of her philosophy! As a books, its simply too long for me. I read the first hundred pages and moved on to other books, cause i cant read one book forever. the book is 1100 pages, and I don't not read stories or fiction books in general. I attempted to read this book to learn more of her philosophy, but learning it in story form is not for me.

her philosophy is objectivism. this philosophy is a great capitalist and business philosophy born out of industrial age ideals and glorifies self sufficiency, economic competition, entrepreneurship, and being an over all cutting edge and sharp business person. people take this philosophy out of context by applying it to all aspects of life like love, helping others, spirituality and inner happiness. ayn rands philosophy FAILS in all other aspects of life. its cold, logical, atheistic and bizarre. your family should not be runned like a competitive business, where the member that contributes the least is of less value. and you shouldn't avoid giving to the poor because "its not a fair trade" like capitalism teaches. and you cant find GOD or inner peace and happiness my analyzing reality with "cold, scientific, rational logic". if you practice objectivism at work and in your career, you will succeed and be a prosperous and fierce business person. but please don't make the mistake that many ayn rand followers do, by trying to apply objectivsim to anywhere or anyone outside of your work!
