read some run-of-the-mill sci-fi or detective fiction then some Rand and there's a big difference
yes she's not the most literary prose stylist but then, a) english is not her first language b) do you want to turn a 1000 page novel into a 3000 page novel?
the way she was able to communicate her philosophy through fiction was masterful. in fact it's a staggering achievement
