Rand has some good ideas, but since she's an atheist it lowers my opinion of her. Her personal life was a mess, she really needed God in her life.

Another criticism was how she portrayed that perpetual motion machine in her book. Being a enthusiast of such psuedo-science, I found it laughable Dagny Taggart could just look at Galt's machine and know what it does instantly. It was also laughable such a sophisticated woman as Mrs. Taggart would believe claims of infinite energy without question.

I found the fact that she basically lumped people into only two different categories hard to accept. Things just aren't that simple. But the book was a good read even as preachy as it was.

She's a woman. On a good day they can change oil.
