Who Will Run the Frog Hospital? by Lorrie Moore

annatheananas's review against another edition

5.0

This book gives you the same feeling like spending the days between Christmas and New Years in your hometown in your old room. Being stuck in old memories and feeling so far from your present self. It's the feeling between believing things never change and questioning who you have become while you stare at the celebrity posters on your door.

2.0

The writing of this book was at times staggering (in the good way!), but just about everything else was cringe-worthy. The plot, the characters, the relationships between the characters, it all felt slightly off to me. The content and page count put WWRTFH squarely in that grey area where a short story ends and a novel begins. In the spirit of that confusion, Moore at times appeared to be writing a short story, but turn the page and you were back in novel territory. There was an overall lack of coherence, and the story's resolution did little to compensate for this inconsistency.
