A review by supreeth
Purity by Jonathan Franzen

2.0

I can't get myself to believe that same person who wrote The Corrections wrote this. Purity has a plot, yes (not that I care for), but it seems like plot exists only to serve few characters Franzen's interested in, and the characters aren't that great, they seem like they exist only to serve Franzen's plot, a symbiotic relationship of two inferior aspects here. I rate Corrections really high, and I'll call it a favorite for a long time, but the worst thing to do after reading Corrections is to pick up Purity and expect it to be written by same person. I started skimming around pg350 and just wanted to be done with it. This isn't as cool as it was in his head. I'll still be reading Freedom.
