This book is theraputic. It's obvious. No one's writing needs to dive into intellectual depths at every chance. Although some things are overdone (Peanuts, yes), this book was over all endearing and thoughtful. Franzen's life is revealed even more intimately than it was in How to Be Alone or the Corrections - he didn't need to hide himself behind metaphors, criticism, or fiction. I also thought that this review didn't say much - it was mostly harsh words. Be a little more clear. I think Franzen’s writing resonates closely with those who had similar experiences to his.

Could you please try to be a little more clear in future reviews? I hate a reviewer that leaves his/her readers in the dark about their feelings on the big they’re discussing.
