All else aside, whether you agree with Ayn Rand's ideology or not, it just isn't a good book?

It's badly written, the characters are fairly flat, and John Galt's speech is the single most self-indulgent piece of authorial insertion I've ever had the misfortune to fucking read.
Seriously, if you're going to write a tome that's near enough 1k pages, at least have the good grace to put in some character development, or intrigue, or even just some lovely prose. Otherwise, find a shorter fucking way to say
>dude capitalism lmao
I get assmad just thinking about the amount of time I spent reading that garbage that I'll never, ever get back.

Even if you're an ultralibertarian, is there really no better book that aligns with those views?
