honestly didnt hate it as much as i thought i would, but by god there is so much filler. the abridged version of this book would be 500 pages
i mean, near the end, John Galt goes on a speech thats, and im not exaggerating, about 70+ pages long. buddy. i dont care what revolution or rebellion youre starting, you dont need an 80 page speech. not to mention, you got the point across in the first like, 10 pages. it was repetition horribly done. he keeps using different examples to say the exact same fucking thing. SHUT UP!!!! WE GOT IT IN THE FIRST 30 MINUTES!!! 
oh yeah. why was Dagny in a love PENTAGON LMAO. Francisco, Henry, John Galt??? whose entire romance is built on him STALKING HER!? and then Eddie is revealed to have been in love with her the whole time at the end? wtf lmao ive read less crazy love triangles in shitty YA. and theres something to be said the way shes constantly seen as something to fuck. i mean hank literally says that...
i thought the beginning was good to be honest, but once you get to part 2, about 30% in, it escalates badly
theres no nuance, the good characters can only do good things and the bad characters can only do bad things. havent you heard of sympathetic villains!?
