Ask, Who is John Galt?

I am not great at haiku's so I had to look up how to write them! These were my attempt based on my favorite book Atlas Shrugged, a 1000-page manifesto about objectivism. If you haven't read it, it changed my life. I attempted this from Judey's #bookreviewhaiku challenge.

I will look this up at the library tomorrow. I know it is associated with Ayn Rand, always meant to read it. Ayn was so controversial. I love the non conformists. I am seeking my book to haiku. They have to grow on you, yours are fine.
I really loved the thrilling feeling of pure individualism in Atlas Shrugged. The part where he had parties and just destroyed billions of dollars of stuff because he felt like it. Growing up in a smaller city that had the mentality of, Keep your head down, be humble, go with the flow, it was fun to think about what was possible instead of what we shouldn't do.
Wow, that was provided perfectly with fine conformity. ❤️📝😉
Wonderfully done! Bravo, Jazzy 💕🙂
Hooray! Great take on the challenge, especially with you being new to haiku.
Whoaaaa, a 1000 pages? I agree with Judey! You summarised it so excellently! Loved your Haiku-review!
Over 1000 pages within nine lines! Amazing!
