Oh Ayn Rand... what... I cannot even... This book has gotten to a special level of abnormality that I really did not at all expect it to. It feels like a fairytale. Every word that I read caused me to think "what the hell is this?". Seriously! What the hell! I do not know how to describe what I am feeling right now. It is like Disney took over for part three of the book. I half expected to find houses made of gingerbread and little talking animals running around the place.
Let me begin my comparisons with "Alice in Wonderland". Our heroine, Dagny Taggart, has fallen through a hole "in the sky" after chasing John Galt, as Alice chased the rabitt. And why does Dagny know how to fly a plane? I would allow a car chase, but a plane chase? A PLANE CHASE! Is this really happening. Dagny has broken the realistic scale already! She's an expert pilot! When was Rand going to tell us that? When does Dagny even have time to practice this, when did she even learn this? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!
I just do not know how to comprehend what Rand has done here. REFRACTOR RAYS! WHAT! And then its a whole reunion of Rand's special characters. I just... I just... WHAT! When did this book become like this. This is not the book I have been reading. What is going on! NOTHING MAKES SENSE ANYMORE!
I do not know what was going on with Ayn Rand when she decided that this was the explination for everything. She must have been experiencing a weird stage in her life. How could... I just... WHAT IS THIS! This is how I expect "Star Wars" to be now- but is Ayn Rand a sell out like George Lucas? NO! She wrote this herself! I cannot believe I have been reading this book when everything I was excited about lead up to this!
I do not know how Ayn Rand will redeem herself, but I really hope she does. There is a lot more to this book, and I hope that it is not just full of "la la land". This is ridiculous.
