Summary: Uncritical companion
Comment: I bought this to supplement the novel which I was rereading after 30 years for my book club. This is a good way to tie together what at times is a heavy text--although as I say in my review of the book itself the plot is a real potboiler. I found the tape helpful in understanding Rand's literary technique--in setting up larger than life heroes and impossibly obnoxious villians---a good refresher too if your recollection of the book is hazy. But for a critical analysis of the novel as a work of literature or philosophy, look elsewhere.

Summary: Refresher of principles of Atlas Shrugged
Comment: Although this CD is not a substitute for the book, it serves as an excellent reminder of Rand's principles - in particular her ethics.
This CD would be useful for the Objectivist that can not reread Rand's book but wants to be able to discuss it in detail again.

Summary: Outstanding Supplement to "Atlas Shrugged"
Comment: I enjoyed "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead", and given their message, wouldn't be so bold as to review either. It had been some years since I first read "Atlas Shrugged" so I purchased this audio disc as a refresher. It couldn't have been a better decision. The two discs walked quickly, but with ample detail, through the plot and major characters, drawing connections I hadn't noticed the first time I read the book, and giving some background as to Ms. Rand's thoughts when originally composing the text. I do not know if I would call it the "Essential" companion, but it is quite good. This Audio Disc makes a great companion to the book, providing just enough to make it worth reading, while not completely reciting the entire text. I would suggest reading the book before listening to the disk as there are some areas of the plot that would be spoiled. However, I do think if you wanted to gauge your interest before tackling the full text, this might not be a bad way to do so.
This is a good audio CD that accomplishes its task very efficiently. It is a great summary of "Atlas Shrugged" with just the right amount of additional detail.
