Yes, she is a great writer.
I do not agree with the more extreme political views of her objectivist movement, however, but that is simply because I am a minarchist at heart.
I am familiar with her philosophy and am acquainted with the themes of her books, though I have not read them. I am interested in reading her book The Virtue of Selfishness though.

@Maritusa, I agree with this comment.
@virgilstar, Her books will make more sense the more that you read them. The main ones are difficult to read because of their length. She also wrote "Anthem," which is short but not good imo.
