"Nobody" would like this story

A person becomes a non-person who becomes "Nobody". I really enjoyed this story. James Maxey writes a story with a creative beginning. The hero is unborn in a different universe which causes him to become nobody. The story has a fresh creative plot and it keeps you engaged throughout. Emerson Hardy dose a very good job in narrating the story.

Great Beginning but Second Half Letdown

I got a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The story is about Richard Rogers, a wannabe comedian, who wakes up in his house but there are strangers in his bed. What has happened to his life? Where is his wife? Who are these people in his bed? Why can't these people see him? Intriguing premise and open to the story. While you learn about how and why all this is happening to Richard, the book is really good and interesting. I was ready for a great ride. However, when you get to the second half of the book, it all goes a little wonky. There are a lot of speeches -- which are stiff and odd, things happen or are said which make you think, "say, what??" and some of the relationships, given what was occurring in the first half, are just not believable. There are some action sequences in the second half which are fun [very comic book] but they did not make up for the other lackluster situations. So while I really liked the first half, I did not enjoy the second half nearly as much.

The narrator, Emerson Hardy, overall did a good job.

A twisted time travel related superhero tale

So what happens when a genius creates a town traveling machine and uses it without being careful as he should? Nobody happens. Nobody is his code name. He no longer exists due to...well I don’t want to spoil the funnny reason why he doesn’t exist. Only the scientist and his descendants can see him. He. Ownaids him in a battle against the evil Rex Monday. Will good triumph over evil? Is good good? Is evil evil? What will become of the girl with the dead heart? Will nobody ever get his chance to get the girl? Wonderful from through what ifs. Very enjoyable lots and lots of twists all the way to the end.

Nobody's Stats

Nobody Gets the Girl is a thoroughly entertaining read. While it does contain some troupes, James Maxey cleverly weaves the story into its own unique adventure. While, I would not say it is the best superhero book, I did really enjoy it and would recommend it for some lighthearted reading. (3.5 stars)

The plot was the typical superhero plot, gain powers, figure out who you are, save the world. Though it is often utilized it did manage to keep my attention and contained some fun components . (3 stars)

The Characters were fun and both complex and somewhat two-dimensional particularly when it came to romance. However, the book simply may have been too short for them to truly develop. (3 stars)

The author's style is imaginative but sometimes meandering. However, he is still able to keep the story moving forward and fun. (3.5 stars)

Nobody Gets the Girl is set in a vibrant and interesting alternate near future world. The setting relatable and genuinely makes you feel that you have entered a comic book. (4 stars)

This book takes contains an interesting and enjoyable take on superpowers, their origin, and the dangers that come with such power. (4 stars)
I received this title for free, in exchange for an unbiased review.

Enhancer contains sex, voyeurism, language, and superhero violence, and genocide.

Nobody is amazing!

This is my first superhero style book. I found it a different but refreshing new genre.

I met the author at DragonCon and he described the book to me. I got the code and put it aside thinking maybe some day I would read it. well i finally did and was very pleased. The characters are very well thought out and the story line was quite different than my normal science Fiction books. This is a book that is not suited for children due to a couple of scenes. but should be fine in my opinion for young adults. I was not crazy about the narrator and didn't find his voice between characters was distinguishable enough for me but it was understandable.
I recommend this book fir those looking for something new or enjoys a REALLY good storyline! will be buying from this author again!

Very well done

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

So, this was a great take on the superhero genre. I liked the main character and found that all the characters were fairly complex and engaging. I chuckled several times and felt like the book had heart. There is plenty of action and a decent story to carry you along. The narration is well done. Each character is given their own voice and there is plenty of emotion put into those voices. This is definitely worth a listen.

Comic books come to life

This is a pretty fantastical story. Baby gun was the most ridiculous character ever but also pretty cool. I figured out the identity of Monday pretty easily. The characters abilities & the explanations of how they have powers were cool and some original. I like the idea of this story continuing. I would definitely read or listen to the next installment. Can humanity survive without someone trying to mold the world to their imagination?
Narration was excellent. Hardy did a wonderful job!

Villains Beware

I have always enjoyed James Maxey's work, this series is no exception. Superheroes at their best, mixed with serious issues and amusement. Great bad guys to conquer.
For me, Book 1 and 3 were hard to turn off, book 2 could have been left out and still would have been great.

Entertaining Superhero Comedy Story

This was a quick, enjoyable, superhero comedy story. It was definitely an original story, unlike anything I’ve listened to before. I found the characters to be entertaining, and I highly enjoyed that it wasn’t just a good vs evil superhero story, with many characters crossing the line between good and evil. The action starts right away, and stays constant throughout the story. This story had excellent narration as well. The narrator gives all of the characters distinct voices, and I really enjoyed the voice he used for the general narration, i.e. when someone isn’t talking. He even does a pretty good job voicing the female characters. Overall, Nobody Gets the Girl is definitely worth a listen, and I look forward to listening to book two.
