I read it prior to the Oprah thingie and enjoyed it for what it was, 
nothing special but not a loser -  3.5 out of 5 stars.   It didn't 
seem like anything that special at the time;  it was  a pretty 
average satire of middle class, Mid-west sensibilities in the same 
way that Bonfire of the Vanities satirized a certain group of New 
Yorkers of the '80s.  

I've not been inspired to read anything more of Franzen  but I'm 
certainly willing to if something strikes my fancy.
