Emma Donoghue's Frog Music is outlandishly bad, a horrible unpleasant slog full of characters who aren't even unlikeable in an amusing way and a plot that reads like the dullest-ever CYOA. A shame since Room was loving brilliant. What happened?

God yes. Was so disappointed in Frog Music.

On the topic of authors who should definitely do better, Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer is ridiculously awful.

Is that the one with the boring middle-aged white people who do it in the woods? I completely forgot I ever read that. What a fuckin dog.


That's the one. Put it down when the boring middle aged white lady told the boring middle aged white man he was into her because he could smell her ovulating.

James Frey and A Million Little Pieces? I remember that. Oprah was pissed.

Frey makes his living now churning out young adult fiction. He does the "I Am Number Four" series.
