shirleytupperfreeman's review against another edition
I was half way through reading Freedom, the new book by Jonathan Franzen, when I thought "I need to put this down for awhile - just can't stand the characters and their dumb decisions." I wanted to read something nicer. Started searching amazon for romances/cheap kindle downloads. This was 95 cents. Sinclair Lewis wrote Free Air in 1919 just before he became famous with his book Main Street. It is definitely dated, especially in the use of slang for various minority people (uses Jap etc.) but it's a good story of exploring the western US just as cars were becoming a way to travel. The conflict is between the hoity toity rich folk of both east coast and west coast (girl's family) and 'regular' Americans (boy's family). Nice break from Franzen.
