Ayn Rand's book is more relevant than ever, because the trends identified by their exploitation of the service providers and the mendacity unfortunately still stand against them on the part of politics and mass media on the agenda. Only they, unlike books like Orwell's Animal Farm wrote a satire, but a novel that raises these heroic figures in the rank Nietzschean superman. Basically, the story takes place as one of the Shakespear`schen Education dramas a la Cymbeline; everything goes down the drain, but in the end the main characters find each other, the wicked are punished, fined the half evil and increases the good. It reads very engaging, but the book is simply too long; the central theses are constantly repeated in endless dialogues between the main characters and especially in unbearable endless monologue of John Galt's radio address. Two-thirds of the pages have this exceptional work done very well, so only four stars.
