You might say, hey, doesn't this guy Eisenberg keep on needling me at mobileread.com? So it might be that if he hates it, I'll like it.
Perhaps that hypothesis makes sense. However, I'm thinking your apparent (to me, anyway) heroine, Ms. Ayn Rand, wouldn't have had much use for the book either. She might have been OK with Chabon's anti-religious themes, but surely not with his (no no phrase coming up) leftist politics.

Well, while this post is somewhat obnoxious, I don't recall you ever 'needling' me before. If you have something against me, on the whole, you will need to be a bit less subtle, I missed your previous efforts. And I gotta say your post was disjointed and so poorly written that I'm not sure of its intent. Were you angry at me, what you think my beliefs or religion are, or Ayn Rand?
Why are you so full of hate? Bad day? Or, is it IDEAS that differ from your own that fill you with rage? Stalin was like that, too. Pol Pot, Idi Amin. If that is what drives your anger, then I wouldn't say you are in good company, but you DO have company.
From your first paragraph, it sounds as if you didn't like the book. But then the post was so confused and poorly organized, I'm not sure. If so, then we agree on something. And it seems you suspect that you and Ayn Rand might agree on this book as well. Does that anger you? As far as what I think, I think you don't know me anywhere well enough to make any assumptions about me, my spirituality or my ideology.
Sorry, but sometimes an over hyped crappy book, is just an over hyped crappy book regardless of ideology.
