Ayn Rand and the World She Made by Anne C. Heller

3.0

Let me start by saying that I love Ayn Rand's work. I love her novels, particularly We the Living. I usually try to ignore the crazy philosophy aspect and concentrate on the story and the characters. Rand was a truly great wonder, and there's a lot to be found in her work, but her whole Philosophy is crazy. She's basically an extreme Republican, which I can understand coming from Soviet Union, but still. I still can't believe that so many people flocked to her and basically turned over their lives to her. I felt so bad for Frank. His wife overshadowed him, and yet he still tried to love her and live a peaceful life. I hated her view on religion since I'm a strong Catholic. In Ayn Rand's world, you should work for what you want and screw everyone else. People who try to do things for someone are selfish. Seriously? Society could never realistically function like that. Hate to burst any bubbles, but it's true.

Still, a very interesting insight into Ayn Rand. It's definitely a good read.
