Review: Good Idea, Poor Execution
Rating: 2 out of 5

I liked the story of Falling Off the Face of the Earth, but the execution of the novel was a problem.  There were just too many scenes of people having conversations that didn't go anywhere and doing things that didn't move the story forward.  If the focus had stayed on James and his transition from the big city to a small town, then this probably would have worked a little better.  But the storylines with the adopted sister practically every man in town coming out as gay just weighed the book down.
