Bobby Evers

Shoes and Cheese:
The Boonetown Chronicles

Boonetown is a small southern town with more limousines than taxis, more buggies than bicycles and more church signs than street signs. You’ll meet the ladies who lunch and the men who drink morning coffee; the museum curator who keeps the dinosaur egg in the bank vault and the woman who runs the local tv station out of her garage. Through each story, you’ll get to know the author, too, as he takes us on this journey through his hometown.

Small town living I laughed a lot reading this book. It truly represents small town living. I recognized some of the places he referred to, with a different name and others with there correct names. I loved the stories tremendously. I will recommend this book to my book loving sisters that live in Muscle Shoals and Center Star Alabama.

funny and fun... If you've ever lived in a small town you'll love this. You'll most certainly find someone you know too, metaphorically speaking at least.You'll also laugh out loud at this fun book. Bobby Evers writes as if he were speaking and you'll love every minute of it.

Laughter is the Best Medicine If laughter is the best medicine, then reading this book is better than a shot of antibiotics! Ladies, have your tissues ready. I laughed so hard that my tears washed off all my mascara! I'm sure I'll read it again because who doesn't need a second round of belly laughs? Great entertainment!

Small town humor at its best Started reading and couldn't stop until I had read every word. Evers is a multi-talented, entertaining, and delightful author. If you want to treat yourself to an enjoyable book, then this is the book for you! Have purchased the sequel - Death and Ham - and cannot wait to read it!

Charming Read Having worked with Bobby in the construction industry many years ago, I was excited to hear he had written a book. We lost touch, but he was one of my favorite clients. I couldn't wait to dive in. I was not disappointed....well, a little as I was sorry when I finished. I could hear his voice in every story. The book is charming, funny, sweet, and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon or two.

This book is both humorous & heartfelt - I loved it !!! The Author is a keen observer of human frailties & quirks & characters. Boonestown is chock full of them !!Bobby is cleverly adept at portraying them to the readers & coming out with a laugh or an occasional cry.Thank you & please write another one ! Kenny Oakes

Lighthearted and funny ! Absolutely love this book! Being from “boonetown” myself I was able to pick up on some of the people and places! Bobby described Boonetown perfectly and I loved the lightheartedness of it. It really gave me a look into “younger Bobby”. Several funny parts ! Love it !

Heartwarming, entertaining and light hearted! "Boonetown" is actually my home town.Even if it weren't, this book would still strike a chord with my heart. Bobby Evers makes each story come to life. I laughed out loud at some, shed tears at others. Bring on the sequel!!

A wonderful book of short stories that reflect a small Southern town I loved each short story. I have read "Shoes and Cheese " several times and each time it is funnier, sweeter, sensitive and more charming. The stories are creatively written and so authentic in their voices. I would recommend this book for all ages. The narratives describe real life experiences and they touched my heart.Myra B.
