I was so scared I was going to have to listen to an English teacher narrate this but then I get this guy who sounds like a professional voice actor. There is a God

[@cerdusblackwolf4336]

[@RabbitHoleARTS]

honestly his voice was really plain and almost robotic, he speaks in past tense but is narrating a emotionless voiced character I understand that but at first it was really boring, but to my surprise his voice gets more pleasant but I have heard audiobooks with such great voice actors that you end up sitting at the edge of your seat wondering what the next chapter will bring almost feeling as if you are there in the book hearing it all and witnessing it.

[@gavinelwell999]

The voice almost put me to sleep in the beginning

[@RogueStallion31]

This guy sounds like AI. No emotion at all.

This narrator is AMAZING & his voice is *perfect* for the character & storyline. This is a phenomenal story, but the reason I've listened to this book 4x is because of how enjoyable it is to listen to it in this characters voice. Superb

[@ivymarinello8330]

I don’t usually comment on youtube videos as it’s proven not to be very necessary, but I think I’ll make an exception for this one. I struggle with attention deficit disorder (ADD), and reading books for literature classes of a higher level has proved to be very difficult. Absorbing more than I could have ever hoped for in fewer than two hours time is truly a miracle. Thank you.

[@kyaadonae]

Wow you’re such a life saver!!! I have adhd so it’s hard for me to focus while reading in my head or even aloud, but then I found this audio for the book I’m reading for school and I am just so intrigued and I can keep focused! I applaud you and wish you had more views and subscribers!!!

What a bad writer this Ayn Rand. No depth, lots of repetition, constant preaching, a totally ridiculous setting, on top of all the book really tries hard to pass as this super serious, grandiose thing. Painful.

[@t3amtomahawk]

But the hero is selfish! Soviet Union bad!

[@solisprime2669]

It's simple the loss and rediscovery of self. This was written during the cold war where Communism was a real threat where they preach individualism to be evil and group collective is right. A world built upon that ideal will be hell. This is a story where that ideal became law and where one man and woman rediscovered self. It's great especially for the modern day where the push to tear down individualism for group collective is on the rise again.

It's a simple story. It isn't very well written. So what? The fundamental point that Rand is making is valuable and beautiful. Objectivism did more for me, my career and my happiness than any other thing I have encountered.

[@thelordkk512]

@@kingghidorah6689 I never critiqued nothing bout the content or the actual philosophy the writing is absolute ass. Also the ideas are not developed enough for it to be engaging for me in end i fell strangely unsatisfyed. Which isn't a bad thing in itself but when we are talking bout hard lined boundary philosophy like rand makes its not good

[@kingghidorah6689]

@@thelordkk512 Fair criticism. I could point you to 'Atlas Shrugged' if you want a more developed work. Or 'Virtue of Selfishness' if you are more interested in the philosophy itself.
