Nice short sample of Ayn Rand's writing. This book shows us what might happen once society decides to outlaw individuality in favor of the common good. Like all of Ayn Rand's writings, this book is a political commentary on the tangible and emotional benefits of capitalism and individuality. It is very well written, quite interesting plot and never dry. One of my pre teens really liked it while the other (most likely because he was assigned to read it) did not.
