Product Description:
Presented by legendary comic book author Jim Shooter, this book is a fast-paced science fiction novel with all the flair and fun of a comic book.
Average Rating: 
Rating:  -
Nobody Gets the Girl is a decent comic book novel. For what it's worth, it's entertaining and has somewhat interesting characters although they sometimes get a bit cliche. I don't think the book deserves all of the 5 star reveiews it has gotten on Amazon. Maxey's prose style while serviceable is hardly enthralling. The storyline is solid but not extraordinary. In the end, I would rather have spent my time reading a few good graphic novels.
Rating:  -
Maxey excels in fusing an action-packed plot with a surprising range of bizarre super-science ideas. I love books like this that use the rules of the alternate reality to surprise the reader, but still create a credible and engaging story that has just the right amount of world background. This book is a fine combination of creative world-making, superheroics balanced between seriousness and humor, and a love story to carry you through to the end. This book gets the feel of superhero comics right. ... Read More

As a fan of just about any super-hero book, my review is from a rosy-glasses perspective. I enjoyed it. It was an easy read, the plot was pretty good, but at times it seemed to go off topic. There were parts of the book that had no reason to be there or any tie in to the overall plot at all. I also agree with one of the other reviewers that the romantic part came out of thin air and didn't seem to fit. I just started reading 'Other People's Heroes' and think that's a better book.

One morning, he wakes up in a world where no one can see or hear him, and after being discovered by super-scientist Dr. Know, he finds himself fighting evil alongside nubile super-heroine-sisters Rail Blade and The Thrill. But in his new life as Nobody, Richard finds that good and evil may not be so easy to identify. Will he make the right world-saving choices ... and ... Read More

As you find out at the end, two brothers (with bad pun names - Dr. Know and Rex Monday), are born with strange abilities. World encompassing telepathy, and the reverse, and super genius level intelligence. So, one sets out to make things better, one eventually to stop him. Their incredibly powerful children, are, of course, horribly screwed up. A time travel mistake produce the title character, a man who has never been born, and is hence invisible and immaterial most of the time, except to this extraordinary ... Read More
