Short enough that it can be comfortably finished within one day. Read if you want to say you've read Ayn Rand. 
Generally very little finesse, a thinly veiled treatise of the author's worldview. Ending feels jarring, but a reasonable dystopia novel in the first two thirds.

One of the most gripping books I have ever read. So gripping in fact, that I read it twice back to back, simply to stay immersed on the world that Tartt presents just a little longer.

Great literature.
