Nophoto-f-25x33 I loved the book. I thought it was intriguing, exciting (though at times boring) and very philosophical. I do have my issues with it, however. These are the main things:

Why is it that almost every character in the book falls in love with Dagny?

I thought John Galt's radio broadcast was slightly ridiculous. In my edition, it was more than 60 pages of a continuous and droning speech (to which I fell asleep reading).

Sometimes, it felt like Rand was berating anyone who did not believe in the same things she did. She specifically makes a point in the story that she does not believe in a middle ground. So basically, you are either with or against her.

How about you?
