At first I was intrigued by the promise of a different take on the story of The Split. But as you say...

"There is something almost operatic in the telling: "

Yea, over dramatized, myopic and dark.

From the review it sounds more Biblical to me. Every God needs a golden boy protege/assistant whose spiritual imperfections causes him to turn on God Him/Herself and become The Satan.

After studying Objectivism casually for 5 years, it was a downer to log onto HPO and see the best of them eating each other alive over minutia.

Yep.
