I have read all three of JF Smith's Novels.  This novel does not disappoint.If you are looking for a lot of sex and erotica, then this book is NOT for you.  If you like stories with great characters who face the types of challenges that many of us have faced, you may be interested in considering JF Smith's novels.  I particularly enjoy the way JF Smith develops his characters and places them in real life challenges that we can relate to.  The dialogue combined with the insight the character/narrator provides allows us to see the character's development as he navigates, fears, stereotypes, work life, love life and complex family relationships.  Characters are complex and we soon learn that all is not as it appears to be.  Have you ever had you jaw drop when you have discovered a truth that blew your whole concept of someone you know? Did you think you had the world all figured out just to turn around and find out that you were looking at things from a selfish or self-centered viewpoint? That is what I love about this novel. The twists and turns that James takes as he deals with his career, loss of a lover, betrayal by friends and disillusionment with his career touched so many personal chords with my life that I laughed, cried bit my fingernails and cheered as I read the story. Those romantic at heart will feel especially touched by Falling off the Face of the Earth.  It was time well spent and left me with a warm feeling in my heart.  Without preaching, this story reminds me of what is the most important in life... the people with whom we share the journey.
