I think your criticisms are legit. I think the books are love 'em or hate 'em. Like you I never connected to any of the characters, but the direction of the story and its almost exponential growth in scale was what drew me in. But c'mon, almost nothing is as bad as Atlus Shrugged (aside from maybe The Fountainhead). :-P

> But c'mon, almost nothing is as bad as Atlus Shrugged (aside from maybe The Fountainhead). :-P I actually made it through The Fountainhead, but just couldn't make it to the end of Atlas Shrugged. I think The Fountainhead could actually be rescued as a story, but Atlas Shrugged is just a bad political manifesto with some narrative elements thrown in. :D
