Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

After all the hype about this book, I was almost afraid to start it for fear it wouldn't live up to my expectations. But I have to say, I really enjoyed reading all ten million pages of it. The author writes with so much detail (perhaps too much) that the characters are completely real. All of them are flawed and I could find myself and others people I know in them. There were pages I would read and then read again just to note how the author managed to create a scene or develop a character. Amazing! - June
