Couldn't get past the first chapter, and I have made myself finish books I hate 99% of the time. It really is terrible writing.
I used to have a theory that people who are bad people, politically, are also just bad at writing, and vice versa. Or that they write fiction in a way that subtly doesn't agree with me. That I can tell.
My theory was working out great until J.K. Rowling went off the rails.
First chapter of what? Atlas Shrugged?
