This was Rand's first novel, and her shortest one. I also think it's her best work. This doesn't have the lengthy speeches of her later novels. And the characters actually have (gasp) flaws. They're not so black and white, which makes them so much more believable. Also, being from eastern Europe myself, I appreciated the book all the more. I highly recommend it, even if you aren't a Rand fan. This book does not pontificate as much as her others do.
