A review by mundinova
Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
4.0
Story: 1 stars
Character Development: 5 star
Prose/Language: 5 stars
Jonathan Franzen is probably the best writer I've ever read. Not the most interesting or life changing storyteller, but definitely the best writer. The characters in Freedom are real and complex, but their lives left me wondering "why tell their story?". It's a perfect snapshot of today's americana. I guess in that light it's interesting. Ultimately, don't read this book if you're looking to be entertained. It's not that kind of book.
