Corrections - Jonathan Franzen

A well-written tale that is more of a family history than a proper story. Really enjoyed the early chapters about Chip, the good-for-nothing son who leaves for Lithuania to swindle American investors. The tale of Denise starting the restaurant in Philadelphia was also engaging. Coming all together at Christmas for the ending seemed the right thing to do as well, though as my friend Lee put it, Franzen doesn't really know how to finish what he's started. Some hilarious one-offs in this book too. Entertaining if not superb.
