Atlas Shrugged Movie

[genkaus]

Most religious books are.

For some reason, religious leaders are bad storytellers.

Really? I've often found religious and mythological literature to be fantastic fiction.

From those on the other end of the camp, who enjoy the book, anything in particular, help me see it in a new light?

It might be a matter of personal preference - I enjoy long reflective passages in my fiction. Where the writer takes time to build up the atmosphere. Or little throwbacks to how aspects of current events relate to their childhood and how they grew up. Or which aspects of certian things appeal to the characters and why and how and if they could be mistaken. Rand does that pretty well.

I have to add that the heroes are not inspiring and unrealistic.

The fact that they are unrealistic is what is supposed to make them inspiring.

They basically lack any flaws and never make any real mistakes,

No, they do make mistakes.

Also there is one part of the book that particularly stuck out for me that easily could be interpreted as a criticism of literature that didn't sell very well or 'cult books'

Which part?

Ironic now that Atlas Shrugged is doing so poorly.

Not really.
