I enjoyed Battlefield Earth, but I read it knowing what it was. It's schlock, filled with well-worn Sci-Fi tropes that we've seen a hundred times over. It's enjoyable in the way a 1950s B&W flying saucer movie is, not because it's good, but because it's comfortable and familiar. But, it's still schlock.
And the less said about Ayn Rand the better.
