another book devoured here.
i never read 'the corrections' when it was on oprahs list
many, many years ago. i actually own it. and after reading 'freedom' i
might just dig it out. this book has been called "a masterpiece of american
fiction" but i'm not quite comfortable calling it that.
it was about a dysfunctional family and theres
not to many people that can't relate to someone or something
in this novel.
its 576 pages on loan from the round rock public library
never felt too big to carry or too overwhelming to finish.
the characters were real and written in such detail
that you felt like you knew them.
there was family, love, romance, politics & time
all mixed together to create a story from the first page to the
last page.
there was some harsh language, some vivid encounters
and real life situations
all mixed together to create a memorable novel.
heres to walter & patty berglund!
