This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world - and did. Is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he fight his hardest battle not against his enemies, but against the woman he loves? Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus and launched an ideology and a movement. With the publication of this work in 1957, Rand gained an instant following and became a phenomenon.

Outstanding book, outstanding narrator
Revisado: 01-19-09
The narrator, Christopher Hurt, does as much for this audio book as the book itself. Being such a tome containing sophisticated and complex ideas, it would have been a disaster if the narrator was weak. He is simply outstanding. Never falters once in a book of 645,000 words. Yes, it's that big. Uses intonation to anticipate 2 sentences ahead, and does a marvelous job of using different voices without crossing the line to being cheesy. I recommend this book highly.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 16
Robin Wright first landed in the Middle East on October 6, 1973, the day the fourth Middle East war erupted. She has covered every country and most major crises in the region since then, through to the rise of al Qaeda and the U.S. invasion of Iraq. For all the drama of the past, however, the region's most decisive traumas are unfolding today as the Middle East struggles to deal with trends that have already reshaped the rest of the world.

Ignorant, under-exposed narrator
Revisado: 01-19-09
I am deeply disappointed that the narrator (Laural Merlington) makes some major pronunciation gaffes in the first 30 mins of the book. She pronounces Saudi Arabia "Saudi-a Arabia" like it rhymes, and then proceeded to name a Mexican restaurant "Polo Loco" instead of "Pollo" where the "L" is supposed to be pronounced like a "y". She clearly knows only the English language and has poor geographic knowledge. It is ironic that she smears the credibility of this book with her atrocious pronunciation. Also, she hesitates inexplicably ahead of really simple sentence transitions and words and generally talks slowly like she's addressing a slow audience.
I haven't heard past the first 60 mins, but I was compelled to beg whoever is reading this to please change the narrator or give her a lesson in pronunciation.

This book is meant for people that need motivation even to get out of bed every morning, not for relatively successful people. I am one of the safe job-with-benefits guys that the author describes, with my share of risk-aversion and financial ignorance. However, the book only tells you what is wrong with the average American, and not how to fix it except in extremely vague terms. The overriding message I got out of the book was "don't give too much importance to studies, focus on making money, think like the rich and emulate them - and look how much money I, the author have made". Of course he doesn't give away much, thus maintaining those secrets as the preserve of the rich. I wasn't expecting a secret formula to get rich overnight, but what this book gives is probably worth only half its price.
