cmack421 's review for:

Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
1.0

This book was painstakingly long and I somehow missed the point.

I started to read it, and literally would fall asleep every time I picked the darn thing up. Being a good reader, I was determined to trudge through the it. So, I decided to read some reviews (something I rarely do) and discovered that people either really loved the book or hated it. I was trying to have a neutral opinion, but was really frustrated with the story. The writing overall is good, the story line just leaves much to be desired. It was hard to make a connection to any of the characters, so I think about half way through, I put the book down and will not continue to read it. There are too many other wonderful books waiting for me!

My recommendation is: do not read it and look for something better!!!
