I enjoyed Atlas Shrugged a great deal; however, I must admit that I read it with a bias attitude. I was once upon a time a huge admirer of Ayn Rand. But as far as your comment goes, that ending was brutal. I think it consisted of two-million pages of getting to the point, which really did lead to an anti-climactic ending, as you described.
She had a brilliant idea and did a good job for the most part of the book, but the woman was full of herself and used her book as a means of spilling herself onto the reader.
But for her to come over to this country, learn to speak english, write it and then use the language as she had, well, I give her credit for that. She was much more articulate than most people (including myself) who are born with english as their primary language.
