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.

Thanks, maybe I should give it another try. Since my Nook was runover (I think) by a car, I have been doing all my reading on my i Pad. I didn't think I would like the back light, but have found it is adjustable. I keep the light low, and use sepia as a background color. This keeps the glare down and it's kind of nice not needing a light over my shoulder. We still have a Nook in the house as my husband has one. Since we share an account, our books are on both his Nook and my Nook AP on my iPad.
