Purity by Jonathan Franzen
3.0

Major disappointment for a fan of his earlier works. I'm not sure what he was trying to do, but I'm pretty sure he did't achieve it. It's really only 2.5 stars. His writing isn't bad, but it's a mess of a book with some really big failures (such as not making it the least bit clear why anyone liked Andreas Wolf).
