Simply an amazing book chronicling the ups and downs of man in today's society. I wouldn't suggest it to immature people, but that's your decision. Personally, it takes a mature reader to truly understand the underlying message in the book and to understand some of the innuendos Rand uses.

Was it supposed to be like fiction or what? I've never heard of it before.

It's a work of fiction. The Fountainhead is also excellent. In fact, all of her books are good. The best was For The New Intellectual: The Virtue of Selfishness. Personally, I'm an objectivist, though, so that might influence my thinking. :grins:
