Freedom

the best book i have read in a while reminds me that people are people and when someone captures the thoughts and feelings of a character well, we can't help but fall in love with the most unlikely of folks. "Freedom" by Jonathan Krazen follows the lives of 3 very different people over the period of a lifetime. in these lives they have disappointment, heartbreak, and in the end understanding. it is a great gift to be able figure out where you went wrong and to try to fix it. Frazen gives his characters this gift, almost too late.

the simplicity and depth of these characters leads the reader to moments of pause and tears. Frazen asks the reader to question this idea of Freedom. in many cases the characters are hurt by their unending freedom to choose the wrong path, or freedom to do nothing at all. makes us all analyze our choices with the freedom we have been given, and the mistakes we have made along the way.
