robinreadsgoodb00ks 's review for:
Freedom
by Jonathan Franzen
I have studiously avoided reviews of this novel. I didn't want to read it with any preconceptions greater or more insidious than those formed by reading The Corrections. I didn't love that book, felt a little dirty after reading it, yet was impressed by the cold, technical writing of Franzen (who reminds me of Nicholas Barker).
Freedom was more technical, more clinical, and yet more real. An agonizing study of human nature, marriage, betrayal and the forgiving comfort of relationships that span lifetimes, this is a masterpiece.
Just as War and Peace is referenced, this is also a novel that will stand the test of time. Brilliant. Now I have to read other reviews.
