I am not one to get caught up in the romanticism of stories,
but I must say that I was glad when Dagny and Hank finally “hooked up.” The
story is becoming much more interesting as there are more aspects to the story
rather than just the train business. However, keeping up with the romantic side
of the story, I am interested in what will happen with Jim and Cherryl Brooks.
I can see something happening between them, but I am doubtful because Jim has
based the relationship already on a lie—that he is responsible for the John
Galt line. Hopefully that resolves itself because I feel that Jim is not very
happy with all the success of his sister and his company falling apart.
The new laws passed in New York and Colorado are detrimental
to Rearden and Dagny. They will lose large sums of money, yet I think that this
will be counterbalanced by the new motor that Dagny and Hank discovered on
their small vacation.
I find this wild goose chase that Dagny has gone on very
interesting because it brings another aspect to the story. It makes the reader
ask many questions: what is this mysterious cigarette given to her by Hugh Akston?
Who is Hugh Akston? Why won’t he tell Dagny the name of the inventor? Finally,
why did Ellis Wyatt burn his oil fields and disappear? I hope this all is
resolved early in part two of this book.
