<b>Gates, David, <i>New York Times Book Review</i>:</b> "Sure, I guess it's a no-no to put stuff in your book that doesn't pay off, but I can't scrape together much outrage when I'm basically having a good time....If you don't end up liking each one of Franzen's people, you probably just don't like people. And by the way, assuming the book really does speak to our condition, it doesn't pretend to know any more about it than we do....No one book, of course, can provide everything we want in a novel. But a book as strong as THE CORRECTIONS seems ruled by its own self-generated aesthetic: it creates the illusion of giving a complete account of a world, and while we're under its enchantment it temporarily eclipses whatever else we may have read. But I guess that IS everything we want in a novel...."
