AWFUL, except the first 2 chapters: a libertarian grocery list

1 star

I knew in advance that I disagreed with Rand's political views (nothing I shy away from), but after listening to somewhere between 25% to 50% of the audio book, I found the writing so awful (except for the first chapter or two that were actually pretty well written) that I returned the audiobook for a refund... and it is not at all in my nature to ask for refunds. After chapter 2, the book reads like a libertarian grocery list. Read "Puerto Paz" instead.
