Author: JennyJekins: there is a movie of Atlas Shrugged.

Hi Jennine: did you enjoy the book?

I loved it, but I thought that Ayn Rand, because if her experiences in Soviet Union, was too prejudiced to look at the capitalist society with an imparialiaty.

The cititic is completely wrong when he says that Soviet Union was a socialist society. The Societ Union never became a socialist country. The Revolution might have started with those ideals in mind, but what it became was a corrupt version of communism. It never even got communism correct.

Anyway, I'd like to know what you thought of the book itself, outside of the philisophy of the author.
