'Franzen has taken the somewhat inaccessible avant-garde concerns of writers like Don DeLillo or the David Foster Wallace of "Infinite Jest" and placed them in the context of a mainstream novel about *family* and how it prepares you to function (or not) in the larger world.'

Has anybody here read it and care to share whether they thought it a worthwhile read?

It's well written and all, but it's graceless. It just feels like the author cares more about "exploring the great issues of modern American life" or some crap that impresses critics than about writing something unique and entertaining. I hear it's much worse in Freedom.

You know what? The Simpsons is arguably the great American novel. Franzen doesn't care about his characters enough, and he surely doesn't care enough for the full range of American experience.
