Billed as humor, this debut novel was anything but, unless you're the sort that enjoys Texas hillbilly humor. After reading Heather's bio, I found it curious she was a therapist, since the story is down right hokey!
Appropriately titled, there ain't nobody who's anybody in the story with one or two minor exceptions. A hard drinking former sheriff discovers a dead man stuck on a hog pen and his first move is to learn who he is and what happened. While some may find the illiterate, loser characters funny, I found them dull and repetitive much like the sheriff.
When it comes to Texas-style humor, Larry McMurtry's books are the 'laugh out loud' sort, but after trudging through over a 100 pages, I can't remember anything that struck me as funny with 'Nobody'. That said, the wonderful thing about various genre is we're each drawn to different styles or approach. Personally, if the plot or characters would have been more interesting, I would have forgotten about the missing humor, but this one failed on all fronts.
And if any of you reading this are humor fans, I can't speak highly enough about [b:Texasville|54814|Texasville|Larry McMurtry|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1416788513l/54814._SY75_.jpg|53421] or any of his stories based in Thalia, TX. Regardless, pass on this one my friends!
