"Write a long book about mediocrities, and in their language to boot, and they will drag you down to their level." B.R. Myers dissects Jonathan Franzen's Freedom, by Jonathan Franzen, and finds little to like and much to hate. A nice riposte to all the reviews hailing Freedom as the greatest novel since Herman Melville decided to write about whales.
My take on Freedom? Never having read the book, I'm hard-pressed to come up with an opinion. Between you and me, though, there were perhaps one too many scenes featuring velociraptor attacks.
