review 1: This is a good book to read during the Holidays because when your family is over, and you are ready to kill them all, reading Family Thang will change your opinion. Once you see what happens to four siblings, and what they do to each other, you will be glad for your own family. The siblings father is poisoned at a family barbeque, and the siblings, along with the town Sheriff, try to figure out who dunnit. This book goes from one adventure to another, and you wonder if any of the siblings will ever be content.
review 2: A Family Thang was one of those unexpected gems of a book that I love coming across. The character development was EXCELLENT! I loved each and every one of the characters and their personalities. The story was full of humor and had me laughing... more so hard that I had to wipe back tears at times. I told my friend about this book and she ordered her a copy and finished it over the weekend laughing just as hard as I was.Shirley- Feisty and could be seen as the Rasputia of the family. Eric- Shirley's man, Broke pretty boy and the town's womanizer. Estafay- Holy roller with a face that besides Robert Earl, only a mother could love. Robert Earl- Where do I begin, married to Estafay, the oldest, dumbest and most scariest person in town, but oh man is he a riot! Shane- Seen as the slow one, but he actually has more sense than anybody in the family if you ask me. Leonard- The gay brother and somewhat the black sheep of the family. Lester- Ruth Ann's gullible, but decent and hard-working husband. Ruth Ann- beautiful, spoiled and low-down.Sheriff Bledsoe- A gaseous hot mess of a sheriff who couldn't solve a tic-tac-toe puzzle if you showed him how. Kenny G- The beloved family dog poisoned by neck bones. Larry- The reason for the book, patriarch of the family poisoned by neck bones. Vincent- Leonard's lover. Ida- Matriarch of the family who will do anything to save her children regardless of the situation.The only issues I had with the book was the ending. Not that it was a bad ending, but the way everything went down seemed incomplete for some reason. Plus, there seemed to be some confusion in the woods with Eric and his abductor. Ida's reason for doing what she did should've been elaborated on more in the beginning, if not the middle of the book. Plus, I would've loved some back stories that we're actually being told from Larry's point- of-view maybe at the beginning giving us a taste of who he was from the horse's mouth. Not saying that country folks can't be intelligent, but some of the dialect was off for the characters written.Even though the book was tied up, I would still love to see these characters again. There's so many more stories to be told from them. less
