The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen

3.0

---

Probably a 2.5 for me here until about halfway through. This is a book about a family of unlikeable characters who, once you look dead on at their humanity, you begin to understand and feel compassion for by the end. It is a work of literature that could be cited as a book to help readers understand and relate to the human experience, but you have to get through the first half to experience that.
