The beginning of this book is fantastic, but thing go downhill from there. I actually think if you haven't read The Corrections you will probably enjoy this a lot more.

He is a great writer but there was just way too much here that was over-the-top ridiculous and not enjoyable.

It definitely does not live up to the hype.

I must have missed something in reading this book as others love it and Franzen is a great writer.
