haifagirl: She has technical acuity, but she is not a good novelist (in my opinion). And in terms of hashkafa, while some books may have objectionable elements, hers directly espouse anti-Torah hashkafos. I think that makes it a lot harder to justify reading them.
I did really like Anthem, though. I just think being too agenda-driven ruins your writing. (I takah just wrote a whole blog post about this…) ^_^
