Logan Anderson _rass_anded_enman — now here's a christian book from way back when that i actually remember. a must read for gems like, "being humble means you have nothing to lose, and nothing to prove" and "snap your wrist downward when your toss is at its highest point."

Natthawut Hemathulin natthawuthemathulin — A fun read with an interesting premise; I think this will appeal to reluctant readers...although it may take them a little bit of effort to get into it.

Laura Sprtel pinkpopsiclestudio — I couldn't get into it. By the forth or fifth chapter i should be hooked and i wasn't. The idea of a griffin mage was interesting, but Kes seems to be too flat a character. We know what she's going to do so its hard to cheer for her. I almost wish someone would just tell me how it ends so i don't have to keep slogging through it. Good idea, but for a "page turner" it lacks in movement.

Rahul 360 _ahulpuroh7426 — Oh, Ayn Rand. How I wish I could enjoy your books more than I do. This is my second go at a Rand book. My first was Atlas Shrugged. I liked this one a lot more, but I pretty much hated Atlas Shrugged, so I'm not sure how much that says. :) I'm starting to think Rand may be an acquired taste. It's not her writing I have trouble with. In fact, I was impressed with how much her book kept my attention despite it's length (about 800 pages, or 26 CDs). She's clearly an intelligent and thought provoking author. It's also not her philosophy of objectivism I struggle with, per se, even if I don't agree with it. In Rand's own words (from Atlas Shrugged), her philosophy "in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute." Hmmm. While I differ with this viewpoint (I do think it's vitally important to follow one's passions, creativity and ideals, but not above all else or at the expense of others), that in and of itself would not be enough for me to dislike a book. I think it's more that her philosophy is so.... well, pervasive. It consumes every page, and there's not much subtlety to be found. You know where Rand stands, and you know where her characters stand. Which is all well and good. But as others have pointed out, the end result is that the majority of her characters (though quite vivid) are not very likable. They are selfish, self-absorbed, self-important, and all things related to the self. While I realize this is part of the point, it made it hard for me to relate to, admire or even sometimes care what happened to them. While this is also arguably in part the point (society doesn't tend to favor people who stray from the norm and relentlessly follow their own ideals).... that didn't make it any easier for me to like the characters. And, maybe this doesn't make me much of an intellectual reader, but I like to emote and relate (at least to some degree) to the characters I'm reading about. Especially if I'm going to spend 32 hours with them. All that being said, I did like the book overall. It is well-written, well-developed, fast-paced and thought provoking. It was also revolutionary for its time. And while I disagreed with some of the ideas of man and reason as supreme to all else (isn't there enough egotism in society already?), I still enjoyed hearing the arguments for argument's sake. And as stated earlier, I did appreciate and agree with some of the points made on the importance of creativity, reason, non-conformity and the pursuit of happiness/following one's convictions. I can see why so many love it, especially if the ideas ring true for you. I can also see why so many people hate it. It's worth checking out, if not just for the controversy.

Mike Hodder mikehodder9237 — I liked a lot of the advicd Dr. Laura had to offer but I felt she was a little unfair to women in general. That being said, it IS Dr. Laura so I suppose I shouldn't have expected anything else.
