That's extremely subjective don't you think?

Partly. That is, my belief in God may be unique to me. He may not have any interest in the rest of you - I couldn't say. But Ayn Rand's bad writing is bad by any standard, at any time, and in any place. Even people who find her philosophy compelling are forced to admit that her writing is abominable. WFB has called it "ideological fabulism". I would call it "adolescent". It is the clumsy musings of a mind that has not eperienced love or loss, joy or pain, or any other deep emotion that makes us human.
