Players like Patrick Beverley, Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams—Clippers bedrocks before the arrival of Leonard and George—bristled when Leonard was permitted to take games off to manage his body and to live in San Diego, which often led to him being late for team flights, league sources said. The team also allowed Leonard to dictate to Doc Rivers when he could be pulled from games, among other things. Tyronn Lue was on Rivers' bench for all of this, but the Clippers were Rivers' show.

Let me explain.

I’ve been reading about 50 pages of it a day for a while now, and I gotta day, it’s not all that it’s acclaimed to be.

It’s not that I don’t dislike the ideology, per say. I mean, I don’t prescribe to Ayn Rand’s world views, but that’s not the reason I don’t like it. In fact, I often really enjoy alternative perspectives in writing. It’s just that she’s so blunt about it. I dunno - maybe that’s the reason a lot of people like it! I just find it so unsatisfying to read two or three times a page about how great monopolies are and how much government sucks.

If you want me to believe what you’re writing, you have to sell it to me. What makes George Orwell so great is his ability to clearly state a message, yet also thinly veil it in symbolism and metaphor. It makes it feel genuine, not forced. Ray Bradbury does the same thing with “Fahrenheit 451”. The world feels natural, as does the message.

For “Atlas Shrugged”, though, it’s just not. The line between good and bad is so black-and-white it’s cliche, and not in a clever way either. All the characters speak in the same way too. They literally sound like they’re all the same person. Furthermore, it’s not just that the characters sound the same; all the protagonists practically have the same features!

I’m going to describe a character, and you’re going to have to tell me which one it is: They’re gaunt, have steely blue eyes, and a cold demeanor. Who is it? You can’t tell me, can you. THEYRE ALL THE SAME.

It’s really frustrating because people kept telling me how good this book was going to be. I usually love political-fiction. It’s my favorite genre, in fact. So why is this so terrible? I mean, I’ve kept reading because it’s so bad it’s almost kind of good, but then it just keeps going back to bad. I’m honestly disappointed.
