I was prepared to dislike a book by Ayn Rand since my political views are at the opposite end of the spectrum from hers.
However, a girl I was tutoring had been assigned to read it for school, and in order to help her, I had to read it.
I found it interesting and touching. It is a story of escape from a dystopia where all individuality has been lost. Rand creates two charming characters who assert their individuality. It is cleverly written.
As a story, I enjoyed it. As a warning about liberal political ideas, I found it ludicrous. The world she portrayed was way more extreme than even the most radical liberal would ever advocate! She set up a straw man to knock down -- pretty unfair. However, it is a lovely story.
