About this listen
Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club.
This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world - and did. Is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he fight his hardest battle not against his enemies, but against the woman he loves?
Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus and launched an ideology and a movement. With the publication of this work in 1957, Rand gained an instant following and became a phenomenon. Atlas Shrugged emerged as a premier moral apologia for capitalism, a defense that had an electrifying effect on millions of readers (and now listeners) who had never heard capitalism defended in other than technical terms.

Worthwhile to learn from
You'd think this book was written after the distopian covid pandemic, not before. I replayed several chapters over again to better absorb what was being presented in the conversations between characters.
The narrator does an excellent job, having a few different voices of his own, kind of like Dick Hill had.

Excellent value for your re-listen
This story is so inctedibly dense with meaning that coplections of essays longer than the book itself have been published to elucidate its many facets. I have listened to it more than five times. #Audible1

Favorite story of all Rove
This is my favorite book, I've read it at least 10 times. Hurt did a great job with the narration. *UNABRIDGED*

Dated but a good story
At times it read like a 50s detective novel. The political dogma of Ms Rand was extreme but to be expected. The story held together well and except for John Galt’s tiresome sermon near the end it was a delightful read/listen. Narrator Hurt was brilliant, navigating all the character voices with subtle clarity. I’d recommend it to anyone seeking perspective from a voice from the right, even though it screams a bit much.

1984 to a whole new level
Wasn't sure what to expect. "Atlas Shrugged" was at the top of someone's list to read. I managed to get thru half of the book the conventional way, when I wondered if an audio version was available. Glad I found it. The narration by Christopher Hunt was superb. Even when he changed roles from male to female. The inflections as he went from a weasel of a man to a hero, was excellent. The book itself is a classic. Anti-government to the nth degree, as the author sees that governments in the end, serve no purpose other than to leech off its own citizens and ultimately spiral out of control. Different parts of the world are already succumbing to the author's dystopia, no greater example than the EU and the US of A. Soon to implode from the inside, out. If only schools had this book as part of mandatory reading material. Alas, I'm sure if the government has its way, which it eventually will, this book along with 1984 will feed many a book burning. Not to be missed. Amazing.
