The Frog King: A Love Story by Adam Davies
4.0
Man, I love this book. It's what really got me into both reading and writing. Sure, there's parts now that induce some eye-rolling, but when those great moments there's nothing sweeter.
Davies is an underrated master of the humorous dialogue, and when you expect something predictable to happen, it's usually the opposite. Harry Driscoll is not a hero by any stretch of the imagination, and many reviewers find it hard to cheer for the guy, but that is definitely NOT the point here. Harry is unique in his own cliche-laden way, and this is a journey I've taken many times now, and will probably enjoy it many more times.
Viva la viva la Frog King.
