How do you criticize a book when you haven't completed it?

All of your arguments about it not measuring up to Victor Hugo or other classic novelists seem out of place for someone who never finished the book.

I don't need to clean my plate to know that a bad meal is bad.

I don't need to read an entire book to the bitter end to form an opinion.

Unless Rand's style, characterizations and dialogue undergo some sort of radical change at a point somewhere past halfway through the book, my criticism stands.
