The End is Merely the Beginning

I have finally done it, I have finished Atlas Shrugged. Actually, I finished it on Sunday, but since I was still mourning and my mother (who I've become to call Jimmy) was breathing down my neck. There are so many thoughts racing through my head, and I have but a moment to get them all down.

I was so furious when they took John! I wanted him to have some sort of battle right then and there instead of his Taken moment ("they are going to take me" *swoon*). However, everything was redeemed when Ragnar, Fransicso, Hank, and Dagny bailed him out. I almost cried when Hank was shot, but thankfully he was okay.

My questions on Project X were answered. It is truely amazing how mankind can be destroyed by their own machines (there is a lesson in that!).

All in all, I give the book the following awards:

Best New Amendment to the Constitution
Best Pirate
Best Company (Rearden Steel and Taggart Transcontinental)
Best Book Over 1000 Pages
Most Tearjerking
Best Sex Scene (Hank and Dagny at Wyatt's House)
Best Life Lesson
Coolest Character Names
Best Speech

I could go on and on (and I already have), but I do have one final question.

Whatever happens to Eddie?

Perhaps we shall never know. Soon I will have my critique of this book up on YouTube, and all of my readers are invited to watch it (my username is lavenderlynx). I'm off to read the Fountainhead, and there is only one last thing for me to say.

I swear-by my life and my love of it-that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
