Description
National Book Award, Fiction, 2001
The Corrections is a grandly entertaining novel for the new century - a comic, tragic masterpiece about a family breaking down in an age of easy fixes. After almost 50 years as a wife and mother, Enid Lambert is ready to have some fun. Unfortunately, her husband, Alfred, is losing his sanity to Parkinson's disease, and their children have long since flown the family nest to the catastrophes of their own lives.
The oldest, Gary, a once-stable portfolio manager and family man, is trying to convince his wife and himself, despite clear signs to the contrary, that he is not clinically depressed. The middle child, Chip, has lost his seemingly secure academic job and is failing specatcularly at his new line of work. And Denise, the youngest, has escaped a disastrous marriage only to pour her youth and beauty down the drain on an affair with a married man - or so her mother fears.
Desperate for some pleasure to look forward to. Enid has set her heart on an elusive goal: bringing her family together for one last Christmas at home.
Stretching from the Midwest at midcentury to the Wall Street and Eastern Europe of today, The Corrections brings an old-fashioned world of civic virtue and sexual inhibitions into violent collision with the era of home surveillance, hands-off parenting, do-it-yourself mental health care, and globalized greed. Richly realistic, darkly hilarious, deeply humane, it confirms Jonathan Franzen as one of our most brilliant interpreters of American society and the American soul.

Great book.
Guidall was great to listen to for some characters and not the best for others, however, on a whole, I think he did a good job. I didn't dislike listening to it read by him.

Wonderfully cathartic
A must read for generation Xers whose lifestyles and values are so different from their parents' generation, and who have grappled with this cultural gulf in adulthood.

An excellent reading!
This is one of my favorite books and I thought listening to it on Audible would be fun, and it definitely was. The narrator is one of my favorite readers and he really drew out both the humour and the devastating sadness that are present in this novel.

Magnificent.
Astoundingly good. Meticulously detailed narrative. A must read! This was my first Jonathan Franzen novel, but I intend to read all his other work.u

I thought I had read The Corrections before…apparently not.
I have held in my hands and read the physical copy of The Corrections at least twice…and loved the book enough to listen to it on Audible. But I had never before sobbed at the end like I had listening to George Guidall’s narration of it. He is an incredible narrator…nay, voice actor. He brought such beauty to the words. I loved this. I’ll definitely listen to it again.

Brutal
I’m always willing to push through a book but this was a waste of a monthly credit.
The voice used to read this book was most excellent, but that’s about it.
