Well, would you look at that. I was planning to write up the book myself in the nearish future, but it looks as if the job's done for me.

"Evil" probably overstates the case here; "shoddy" seems closer to the mark to me. I can accuse Rand of writing inelegantly and failing to unite form and substance, but that's about it. Pushing a worldview I don't agree with is pretty hard to deem a crime, literary or otherwise, but she never seemed to realize that trying to make your own worldview rigorous and perfectly consistent is a mug's game.
