Miss Rand was an idealist. Her characters represent ideals and their antitheses. Her craft tends more toward the cerebral than the aesthetic. Too bad, really. You probably want to read her fiction for the theme and plot rather than characterization.

Thanks for the insight. I'll keep that in mind. I wasn't sure if it was her writing style or if it was intentional in the beginning chapters and the characters would evolve. I guess I won't wait for that to happen.;)
