Delightful. Absolutely delightful!

I started John Grisham's "The Partners" and put it aside for Ellen Douglas'(the best of writers) "Can't Quit You, Baby"; then put it aside until I could read, nonstop, James Wilcox's "Plain and Normal".
Plain and Normal is anything but!

He is a sensitive master that makes a heartfelt problem hilarious. Wilcox is a comic genius!
Hilarious!

This book made me order James Wilcox's other books. I particularly liked Pearl Fay Norris who tries to make her "husband" (whom she never has had sex with) come out of the closet and be more gay. I will anxiously await more books from this terrific writer.
A masterfully loopy and heart-swelling ride!

In Wilcox's newest novel, a comedy of mistaken (sexual and otherwise) identities, he takes the reader to the place in the psyche that lies smack in the middle of ache and hope, and he covers the territory with humor and compassion in a way unmatched by any other author around. If the landmarks go by too quickly at first, you may want to go back to the beginning, but then hang on and and enjoy the masterfully loopy and heart-swelling ride!
I love Lloyd

There should be more literary characters like Lloyd. He is funny and eccentric (he lives on chips--how can you NOT love him)!!! Plain and Normal also demonstates the old notion that things aren't always as they seem. If you like to laugh and you enjoy good literature, then get this book.
