Last Stop on the Comet
Well, I finished the book. (Actually, I finished it a while ago.) My thoughts? The story is good - so good, in fact, that I still like it after slogging my way through the entire book. The biggest problem? Objectivism! Ayn, we all pretty much had that philosophical shit down by page 500. Did you slack off on it and pick up the story instead? Oh no, you piled it on thicker. I won't even go into the multitude of reasons Objectivism would never work, but hey; in a perfect world, right? Also, your heroes need to lighten up every once in a while. The good guys are always dour and serious; they need to loosen up and have fun. Yeesh.

This is random (so I guess, in a way, it's appropriate given the title of this blog), but I didn't know until a couple years after I'd gotten into her writing that her first name rhymed with "mine," "fine" and "pine," not "rain" or "vein" or "spain."
