Crime & Punishment > Atlas Shrugged
Atlas coulda been a much better book if she put forth more effort into the characters, they are too one dimensional. Some of the scenarios are pretty far fetched. The biggest problem lies in the fact she held that book hostage against the editors, she threatened to take it elsewhere if anyone touched a single letter in the book. Knowing they would lose a ton of money, they agreed. The book starts off masterfully but then you realize it badly needed editing, it becomes extremely repetitive. And as great as the 90 page speech may be, it's also pretty far fetched. She like Marx and other idealists and great philosophical minds before her had ideals and visions of how society is, should be, or whatever but in the end she is not Karl Marx, because her work is fascinating but that's about it.
