The Fountainhead was some of the worst writing I've ever read. Not exaggerating. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 24/08/2010 10:45:41 AM
The closest comparison I can make is Mary Sue-eriffic fanfiction. And I can deal with fanfiction better than with Rand's writing. Her characters are all so incredibly disgusting that I couldn't finish the book. And they're disgusting because of their abhorrent philosophy.

There comes a point at which you're saturated with the drivel, and there's really no reason to continue on reading the nonsense.


...I have forceful opinions about that woman.
