Freedom by Jonathan Franzen
4.0
I was expecting quit a lot from this book, what with all the hype and all the good things I'd heard about it. To say it lived up to the hype would be a true statement. It was like no other book that I've read in a long time. It was like reading about real people, and not fictional characters that could never possibly exist but in someones strange fantasy of the human species.
Each character had it's own beautiful flaws, issues and imperfections...but I think this made me love the book even more. The humanity of the characters make it worth reading again. Throughout the book almost every human emotion is apparent. Fear, love, loathing, infatuation, hate, loss, depression, and passion....be it passion through love or passion through hate, what are we without our passion.
