Actually not crap. Rand's politics and personal life are well-documented train wrecks, but you've got to set that aside and suspend disbelief as you read. Woefully under-edited: somewhere in there is a half-decent 350-page book crying to get out. But her plot is at least coherent and interesting, which keeps you turning pages. Her dialogue can be wooden, but she works in some decent lines in places. The Fountainhead is as good and 400 pages shorter. Her short story Anthem is the pick of the litter, though. I would actually call it good, and it gets her views across through suggestion and metaphor, which is more eloquent and effective than this amphetamine-fueled brain-dump.
