Freedom

by Jonathan Franzen
Chanhassen H.S. hardcover, 562 pages
genre: ? Realistic fiction, relationships

This was torture. It has taken me way, way too long to read. I kept looking for redeeming qualities. . . it was our PRMS April book club title, but we kept having to reschedule. Now we're going to discuss it in May with our May title. I think a lot of people bailed on it. Not sure why it garnered so much attention this past year. I think Patty, Walter, Richard, Joey, Lalitha, etc. think too much of themselves and their sex lives. It will be interesting to hear what others have to say about it.
