Atlas Shrugged Reaction (pg. 397-518): Libby Evans

    So, basically Lillian found out Rearden was having an affair and turned into a manipulative monster. She refused to divorce Rearden and vowed to make his life miserable through guilt. Going back and forth between feeling bad for Lillian and hating her, at this point, she is annoying and I do not like her. Then the annoying Dr. Ferris has to come back because I was just starting to forget how awful and incredibly frustrating he is. He then has to go on an blackmail Rearden. And along with not having enough common sense to realize that Rearden will not go along with his plans, he threatens him will jail time for breaking the law. Such stupid law, was to prevent him from helping Ken Danagger by shipping him some Rearden Metal. Dr. Ferris makes himself look like a hysterical idiot, and is escorted out of Rearden's office. 
      However, things were not looking to great for Dagny. She realized that Ken would be the next to abandon his factory and vanish. She went to go talk him out of it, but it was too late. Many questions were brought up, but none answered. Who is this mystery destroyer of industry? Where have all the industrialists gone? 
The good news is, Dagny finally realized she loved Rearden and he loved her.  However, Francisco has to keep up the love triangle and interferes…again. HE turns up talking to Rearden about business. It seemed as if he was trying to talk REarden into retiring. This lead me to believe that he may be the destroyer. However, a turn of subject came to Francisco. This was benefitcial, because I have no idea what is going on with him. I do no know what his deal is, or this secret. However, Francisco finally admits to himself that he loves Dagny. Though he did not mention her by name.
Then of course, the stupid government got involved and started messing things up.
