Query: Someone's Kidnapped Pat

I like the author's short stories as much as anyone. However this book proves he should stay away from full length books. First of all this book has none of the usual humor of his other work. It just a flat dull read. The main character is a smug little twit. He's apparently dated every woman in his county, which just goes to show how desperate rural women with no options can get. His lawman job is a sinecure he inherited from dad. The dad is also a character in the book and a living legend in the county. We know this because the author tells us, not because old pop ever does much. As our hero was preparing for a date with yet another unlucky target of his desire I just reached my limit and called it quits. I'll finish the book when I'm as starved for entertainment as the average resident of the book. No on second though I'll never get that starved.
