Atlas Shrugged



Well that one was hell lot of a experience not only in the quality of what I read but also the quantity of what i read and specially considering that my previous ventures havent lasted more than two or three evenings this one was really 'heavy'. Well well there also came a point when I didnt wanted it to end and there also came a point when i really wanted it to end badly no wonder it was her theory of objectivity that cracked me and even though i couldnt grasp anything apart from "man should live for himself and only himself"(its not as simple as that)
Yes it was good and probably the most thought provoking one,She kept me guessing for most part and here is what i think of her novel work

I think she watched a lots of movies read a lots of novels and noted down a lot of things that a good man do and made her evil characters do all the same and still quite convincingly proved that they all are evil to the last piece of their soul. Same for her good characters she made them do all the wrong things (Dagny left two man in order to get the third) still justified them to reach all the ends and did it quite convincingly.
But it gave me something to ponder about too ( I reject her theory of objectivity completely) but like her idea of portraying man as the ultimate living soul and as god of himself.
Francisco attracted me the most and it says all about what i liked in the novel

His work,his commitment,his rebellious nature,his silhouette of the ultimate destroyer,and probably I found him as the only one who was a more life like character in her work.

Whatever who is john galt?
