Hasn't anyone read it or what?? <br /><br /> Anyways, can we start off with discussing the characterisation of this novel. As per me, I think Kira's character and backdrop was quite close to that of Ayn Rand herself. At times, the writing seems like autobiographical.<br /><br /> However, my point of contention is that isn't this novel a little weak in its characterisations than 'The Fountainhead' or 'Atlas Shrugged' which had pretty strong characters? <br /><br /> What are your thoughts on it?<br /><br />http://objectivistcenter.org/cs/forums/401/ShowPost.aspxSun, 12 Nov 2006 03:36:49 GMT8bae48ae-7f40-4eb7-afc3-00dc0485de32:401Donpeyote1 MOST Women (Especially Liberal well educated ones who have been to Vermont) like their Republican F**k Buddies to  have Stamina !
