Sorry it took me so long to respond to you Avista, but I just finished reading
Freedom last week.
I liked it. It grabs you and you think about the characters quite a bit in between reads. It helps you see how family members share similarities in character and actions, even spanning generations.
The main character, Patty, still needed work to completely flesh her out. I could tell the book was written by a man. The problem being that Patty is not a man. The way she was written reminded me of a female Woody Allen.
Before this year, I was reading nothing but classics (and a cookbook or how-to book here and there). But because I enjoyed Freedom so much, I will probably read Franzen's
The Corrections, which was written several years ago.
