"Use Thy Freedom Well"

Freedom: A Novel by Jonathan Franzen

Highly dysfunctional, brutally honest, somewhat jaded, but naked portrayal of our own images projected through characters of our day.  Comical at times.

Patty, Walter, Joey, Jessica, Connie, and Richard...

Somewhat inexplicable spin of relationships and queer twist of self-alienation...

Pessimistic but hopeful--not J.D.Salinger's "Catcher-in-the-Rye" sadness...

A bit rushed ending but overall, quite readable.
