2.0
In itself not a badly written book, despite Ayn Rands political thought. I found myself more sympathetic to the characters towards the end, yet the strong dislike I first had never faded. The story is oft boring and repetitive. Kira makes little sense as anything but Rands self-insert character.
Graphic: Rape, Suicide, and War
