suzannetronier 's review for:
Freedom
by Jonathan Franzen
Okay, I loved this book for a while, liked it better than The Corrections, found it witty and incisive, but then it got darker, gloomier, unredeemable. There isn't a female character in the book I could like, recognize or care about. The only person I did care about for a long time was Walter and then he turned nasty and unlikable. Like the Corrections, the story moved along with the train wreck of family drama and got bogged down in the mire of a not very interesting political story. There were times that characters started giving speeches and I couldn't stand it-- I just skipped them.
I see some reviewers liked the ending. I hated it. Although I was happy that it was over.
