Goddamn, Franzen can put a good sentence together.
This is one of my favourite novels. The whole book, you can't help but dislike these characters. Everyone is so frustrating and constantly doing the wrong thing. They treat people horribly, and they're entitled and selfish, but you just want them to have one last Christmas.
A truly great read.
