About this listen
Like any great work of literature, however, Atlas Shrugged can be intimidating. Even those who have read and re-read it may feel they have not fully appreciated its vision of life. For the neophyte and the longtime admirer alike, The World of Atlas Shrugged provides essential context, brilliant commentary and authoritative insight into the novel's literary purpose and structure.

Interesting. Not what I’d hoped for but good.
I was hoping for an exploration of why Eddie was left behind after giving his all in support of Dagne, and perhaps the correlation to the evils of our welfare system and the destruction which that mentality causes. Didn’t get either, but did enjoy Ayn Randy’s background story very much. “I swear by my life and my love of it….” Makes so much sense.

Entertaining
Atlas shrugged is NOT masterfully written as this implies, but it is an interesting book worth reading . This audiobook gives some interesting background information and is worth the short listen

Okay but not great
It's was okay. Not great. I thought it was a summary not a prelude. Wish I had read other reviews carefully 1st

Absolutely life altering
This book takes a hard and honest look at the results of unintended consequences. While one's intentions may be one thing, actual human behavior is another. Mandated altruism is put on trial and hypocrisy is exposed. The book takes an enormous amount of patience and Ayn Rand would have been better served with a more insistant editor. She tends to be repetitive in her message but the message itself is truly and undeniably insightful as to what truly motivates man. Well worth the time invested. My biggest regret is that I didn't come across this book until I was 35. This will definitely be required reading (listening) for my two young boys.

One of the Top Ten Books (STORY) ever written!
Who is John Galt? You have to read the book to find out.
There is nothing I can say that hasn't been said before about this story. Everyone alive should read it - if not to agree with the positions taken - but to see what can happen if Government is allowed to act unimpeded.
Ms. Rand will go down in history (already has) as one of the Great Story Writers of All Time. This novel is one of the reasons why. A must read for many reasons.

The World of Atlas Shrugged
While there were some interesting elements to this book, I found it to be for the most part, well, fluffy. I was expecting a more critical look at the book. I found the narration annoying, and the potrayals off the mark of my own view of the characters. I knew I was in for trouble the first time they said "Who is John Galt?". They made it sound like it was something other than the rhetorical question of a person unable to comprehend what was happening to their world. I would only recommend this book to a first time reader
