It was the most boring piece of shit I ever read.

What made it even more painful to read was the fact I fooled myself into thinking I liked it the whole way through just because everyone else told me that it was a sci-fi masterpiece.

Fucking retarded as all hell.

I'm fucking retarded as all hell.

I'm also talking about my own turds, and not a book by someone else than Ayn Rand.

I read the Rama books by Arthur C. Clarke. They were good.
