Freedom

While on vacation I read Freedom by Jonathan Franzen. I had been looking forward to the book and was frankly disappointed in it. The story of a dysfunctional family, I found the characters difficult to enjoy, and can only assume that the accolades received by the book came about due to the story’s happy ending.

The book contained a handful of erotic passages; unfortunately they were poorly written and rather absurd.

I would not recommend the book, especially given the very high price commanded for the electronic version.
