Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
3.0

Overall, the book was decent. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. It's lengthy and about a quarter of the way through I was wondering what else there was to talk about. The characters are easy to dislike and also understand. You know why you dislike them, but you can also understand why they are acting the way they do. The central theme of the book is Freedom, clearly evidenced by the title, but it's also the source of pain, happiness, sadness, and more throughout the book.

Not sure I recommend the book to others, but it's a decent read.
