    About this audiobook

    The National Book Award-winning novel by the writer whom Fran Lebowitz called "the real F. Scott Fitzgerald"

    Joe Chapin led a storybook life. A successful small-town lawyer with a beautiful wife, two over-achieving children, and aspirations to be president, he seemed to have it all. But as his daughter looks back on his life, a different man emerges: one in conflict with his ambitious and shrewish wife, terrified that the misdeeds of his children will dash his political dreams, and in love with a model half his age. With black wit and penetrating insight, Ten North Frederick stands with Richard Yates' Revolutionary Road, Evan S. Connell's Mr. Bridge and Mrs. Bridge, the stories of John Cheever, and Mad Men as a brilliant portrait of the personal and political hypocrisy of mid-century America.

      Not too good.
    • 5/5
      Thoroughly enjoyed . Took me on a journey, albeit a long one. Made me very happy to live in the current time, while displaying that humans have been as we always will be.
    • 3/5
      The ending really smaltzed it up. It was laughable.
    • 4/5
      Pretty good book. I always enjoy O'Hara and his Pennsylvania connections and his very accurate portrayal of automobiles of the period about which he is writing. I also liked the opening of the book setting an odd tone for a family's response to a major death in the family and then, the remainder of the book clearing up how such came to be. I also have finally read enough O'Hara to notice that he peppers his books with tiny references to previous books of his, for example, phoning his daughter in NYC at "Butterfield 8" & expostulating on the main character's 'rage to live.' I now have a near complete set of O'Hara's works on my shelves and i look forward to continuing on with them.
