FREEDOM by Jonathan Franzen
It’s been years since a novel’s impact was so colossal that I was unable to pick up and focus on another novel one, two, four–even twenty-four hours after closing the book. The force of Franzen’s characters, particularly Patty Berglund, pierced me with such legion intensity that I am temporarily ruined for the next book. I apologize for the lack of restraint in my accolades–that which is diametrically opposed to Franzen’s utterly fluid and immaculate prose, his graceful, poised restraint.

FREEDOM by Jonathan Franzen
…But here’s the catch: Jonathan Franzen’s FREEDOM is worth every accolade and every bit of heaping praise it garners. In one word, the novel is spectacular.
