Helpful Score: 1
Jonathan Franzen uses an interesting and intellectual design of writing to orchestrate this extremely complicated novel about midwestern life. While there were points of life, interest, thoughts, desire and the ever-present worrisome guilt tripping mother that every midwestern girl like myself can relate to, much of the book seemed obsolete. Proofing could have removed 1/3 of the novel and still had a good read.
It is complicated, complex, involved, self indulgent, sex addict, and had a few laughs in between. Franzen does do a great job of showing just what has happened to all the mid-century Midwest WASP children once we grew up and got away!
