Haven't read it yet. Read Anthem though and I found it engaging and quite a delightful read. Do you think there is any possibility that the political themes just stood out because you hold differing opinions? I don't agree with Rand on a lot and when those things came to light my mind wandered from the story to an inner debate about my vs her beliefs. Could that be what was pulling you away? Political themes can feel very grating when they offend your better senses.
