** spoiler alert ** Story flowed well. Was sort of fun to read. But if you inspect the underlying themes it has nothing to offer and is probably an actual detriment. Follow the action (instead of the preaching) then this book says gambling makes you rich and violence solves problems. It had a set to demonstrate why the existence of illegal residents in a country creates odd legal loop holes that unprincipled people can take advantage of. And it was used as an excuse to not call police, but rather on a big muscular guy to fix things. And wasn't it nice that they guy in question was happily willing to totally loose his career and get time behind bars for some kid? Especially, as if the violence wasn't comic book style (big bangs, every one walks away with little swirls over their heads) several of the things he did would have ended with dead bodies and premeditated murder. So ya. Very few redeeming features. The logical conflict to have in this story would not be out of town violence moving in, but city officials noticing and requiring a small business license, insurance, and other odds and ends. Or maybe a stray rock from one of the mowers hitting someone and then noticing that they needed insurance when the medical bills came in.

One either loves or hates this book. i hate it! I don't like Ayn Rand's writing style, i find it condescending and repetitive. Although I do think that there is some merit to her philisophy, I find it ironic that she started her own fan club / association for individualists!

This was a book that I picked up while having temporary religious doubt. It was written in 1902. It takes different aspects of religion- conversion, saintliness, mysticism- and it approaches and dissects them from the point of view of psychology. Some interesting points were made. For me, it really just read like a textbook. There were a lot of firsthand examples of the various topics James covered. I'm not at all adverse to reading this book again to try to understand it better.

Can't wait to make these things!
