Freedom by Jonathan Franzen

Title: Freedom
Author: Jonathan Franzen
Did I listen or read?: audible
When did I finish?: Sep 12, 2019
When was the book published: don't know
Main Characters: Walter and former basketball player Patty and rock star boyfriend/bestfriend/no friend Richard, their son who movies in with Carole's daughter, Connie.  And of course Lalitha
What happens? Everyone's story, but most memorable is Walter taking a job with a conservancy to save a bird funded by a coal company that gets to do a Mountain Top Removal and then turn the land into a park.  Patty and Walter and Richard have a weird triangle
How long was this? 13 hours - it's 562 pages
Did I like this? At times.  A story stating the case for saving the world from human damage - or is it ridiculing the very same story
Overall grade: B
