I read "Room" and really liked that book, so was anticipating that I'd enjoy "Frog Music." I was disappointed, and found it tedious to read. The underlying story actually has merit, but it is hard to extract it from all the French phrases and song lyrics (hence the title) which add confusion and nothing else to the story. Ms. Donoghue explains at the end that she fictionalized a true story. I was unsure why it was important for the author to go into detail about that, because from Donoghue's explanation, very little of an actual story was available, and the book is almost pure fiction.
