Splitting Adam
Ever wonder what would happen if Frank Capra had directed Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde? Find out in Splitting Adam! After a soul-crushing thirtieth birthday party, Pastor Adam Tyler, the hopelessly single son of a single mom, is given a chance to see what the world would be like without him. But surprisingly, rather than just an Adam-less world, he finds instead that he has been replaced by two others, each man his "half-self." One, the child of his mother, is a wealthy and successful businessman. The other, the child of the father Adam has never known, is a movie-quoting, streetwise con man. It seems the only things these two have in common are Adam’s DNA, and that both are on a collision course for Deep Trouble. With a hand from his crusty guardian angel, it’s up to Adam to rescue them. But is he up to the task? And can he find his way home again? This hilarious journey of half-self-discovery is the lovechild of Kurt Vonnegut and Anne Lamott, and is sure to delight all who enjoy a trip into the magical land of "what if?"

"Splitting Adam" started off with what I thought was a very interesting premise--if you weren't born, what would happen to the two parts that didn't become you? Did they become other people? Intriguing premise, beautifully executed.
Ford's writing is easy. He proposes interesting concepts and ideas as to how faith and God work in very accessible ways, within the context of the story without being preachy.
But honestly, he had me from the very beginning. The prologue begins with a sort of surprise stream-of-consciousness that was not at all what I was expecting, but just drew me in. And his story-telling continued to keep me in his world easily.
For me, the biggest thing is always characters, and again, Ford delivers. He gives you a cast of multifaceted characters who are real and relatable. Adam is the best example because he's so *normal.* He's got a couple things he's good at, a lot of things he's not, a bit of a temper, issues with motivation, he's just really like most of us--relatively unremarkable. And, like most of us, he wants to be remarkable or make a difference in some way, even if it's just to one person. He wants his life to have meaning and is really unsure, at the beginning of the book, if it does. He's normal and unremarkable, but he is still a developed character. I'm impressed.
His two half-selves, Chase and Victor, are just as well developed, even if they're a little more remarkable in different ways. They were characters you wanted to know about, characters you *cared* about.
Perhaps the best thing Ford crafts, however, is the structure--how people get into the messes and slumps that they do, how they justify their actions to themselves and how, when they subconsciously realize that they're doing things that are wrong, it actually affects them and how they deal with others. That's craft. I appreciate it.
Well done. 4.5 stars. Every time I picked it up, I delved right in, but I wasn't chomping at the bit for the next chance to dive in. Great read, definitely recommended to anyone who isn't going to be offended by the Christian threads running through it. They aren't the core of the story--the characters are.

I had no idea what to expect when I signed up to read and review Splitting Adam by John R. Ford. I was looking forward to reading something a little different than what I normally read. I’m happy that I took a chance on this book, because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
Splitting Adam tells the story of a recently turned thirty year old Pastor Adam Tyler of Riverside Christian Fellowship. Adam has no wife, no children, barely any friends, his mother’s dead, and he’s never met his father. In short, he’s a bitter and morose individual. To say he’s unhappy with his station in life is putting it mildly. At his thirtieth birthday party, he’s approached by a short man with a northeastern accent who claims he’s an angel. Adam is understandably skeptical. However, when he’s given the chance to experience a world where Adam Tyler was never born, he’s in for an adventure of a lifetime. One that will change the way he views himself, those around him, and life in general.
Splitting Adam reminded me of It’s A Wonderful Life at first glance, but Ford put his own unique spin on a story about a man who gets to experience a world without him in it. The plot was funny, engaging, entertaining, and moved along at a nice steady pace, therefore I was never bored. The characters, Adam in particular, were well-developed, flawed and yet very relatable. They didn’t always make the best choices; in fact, some of them were engaged in some pretty questionable activities. Nevertheless, I cared about these characters, and was always able to somewhat understand their motivations. All in all, Ford did a commendable job with plot and character development.
Overall, I give Splitting Adam four stars. This is a story that will capture and hold your attention till the very end. A unique story filled with interesting and relatable characters. There’s drama, comedy, a little bit of action, mystery, magic, and a surprising ending that will either have you laughing out loud (like I did) or leave you speechless. I recommend this story to people who are interested in Urban and Christian Fantasy.

Adam is visited by an angel sent by his dead mother when life seems to be its worst. In this It's a Wonderful Life-esque tale, Adam wants to know what the world would be like if his mother and father did not have the one night stand that created him. He assumes that he would not be part of the world, but instead a reality exists where there are two half Adams. His mother and father both have children with other people and each child has half of Adam's DNA. Adam follows both half selves around to see what the world is like for them. He finds out that life is not as bad as he thought and finds similarities to his own life with both half selves.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a light quick read. Anthony the angel was funny and really lightened up the story. I didn't know that this was classified as Christian fiction when I first picked it up. I don't read much from that genre, but I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed all of the characters and was happy that everything was resolved and tied together neatly.
I was given this book for review from the Goodreads group Shut up and Read. Thank you to the author and the moderators of the group. This was a great story.

Pastor Adam Tyler is unhappy. In steps Anthony. He says he is an angel but Adam is skeptical. When Anthony asks what would convince him, he wished to see what life would be like if he had never been born.
I don't want to spoil this for the readers. I will just say that John Ford Jr. took an original idea and put his own unique spin on it.
As the story evolved, I felt a genuine connection to the characters, past and present. The flashbacks were perfectly placed to allow the scenes to flow effortlessly.
I was left with a sense of wonder when I finished the last page.
This is an amazing book and I strongly urge you to open it up and turn the page.

In the interest of full disclosure, I know the author of this book just a little (like, only on the internet). But by the same token, I think this book was good for all the fair reasons I would have if I didn't know him.
The characters are very well drawn, and now that I'm thinking back, I'm a little surprised at how many there were -- normally a larger cast would confuse me more than once, but this one didn't. I think that's mainly because of the very telling details we get throughout. The two half-self characters weren't caricatures of "loser" and "winner" but each a believable mixture of the two, and my irreligious side was fascinated by the preacher who was a little turned off by his own flock. The character of Adam seemed to play against some of the stereotypes of preachers, how they should be "perfect" and have never-ending faith, which worked really well.
I also really enjoyed Anthony (the angel) and all the philosophical musings he brought about. This came together very well with the ending, which was happy as expected, but not in a way I would have predicted. This was a hard story to predict at all, which made the reading experience more interesting. The presentation of angels and the supernatural in general in this story was really well done: not a cookie-cutter of some other person's vision, but a new twist on it with slightly different rules.
One thing I noticed was that the book was in need of further copy editing (missing/wrong punctuation, tiny grammar mistakes, the wrong name a few times, etc.), and there were a few places where the writing could have been a little tighter or cleaner. Some of the dialogue was a little stilted in places (like a lot of "it is" where a person would probably just say "it's"). I thought perhaps the book needed one more read-through before publication.
Still, the ebb and flow of tension was well controlled throughout the novel, all the action seemed necessary for the conclusion, and the ending was (as I said before) a rather intriguing surprise. I thought the book had a lot of interesting things to say about humanity, as well - in particular, how helping someone else can help ourselves more than anything else. Well done, sir!

So that's where my socks go...
I'm usually a fan of darker esoteric reads when it comes to Angels, but that didn't stop me enjoying J.R.Fords excellent take on alternate realities. So, the story:
Doubting cleric shepherding oldies and goldies is visited by an Angel and asks the eternal question; what if I had never been born. What follows is a marvellous romp through a reality in which Adam's genes have off-sprung two new Adams, one a big shot, one an apparent down and out chancer, each possessing in themselves a trait Adam lacked pre-ethereal-being.
Ford's character development is spot on. Straight from the get go you really empathise with Adam and all his self-imposed rules, which keeps him from truly living. All the while playing on this big question, what is Eternity's plan for me? I see John Cussack in the role. As for the Angel, Zach Galifianakis, constantly slapping Adam's forehead and with his all-knowing, un-revealing, smarm.
As for the alternate Adams, Chase is the epitome of someone bordering on highlighter OCD. I don't know if anyone got this but I found his controlling nature slightly menacing, and I expected him to just implode in a fit a curses and arm waves at any moment, which certainly kept the suspense going. Chase on the other hand, was easy to sympathise with, a fiercely independent man whose preoccupation with scribbling reveals he's the ego and the acumen to rival Victor.
Ford's style is similar to that of Douglas Adams and the smatterings of humour (a la socks, as above) together with the bits where Adam is a voyeur is really a joy to read. Well done Author.

I love the balance this book manages to achieve. Decidedly post-modern without being cynical, humorous without trying to be clever, tear-jerking without being manipulative, earnestly Christian without heavy-handed preaching. The plot is simple and fast paced, the characters interesting if somewhat predictable. I won't give away any more of the plot as the synopsis gives a pretty good idea and the rest has to be discovered by the reader. There are a couple of truly fascinating ideas about fate and faith, not earth-shatteringly new, but presented in a refreshing way. The gripes I have are very subjective and probably will not bother most readers. However, they happen to be my pet peeves and frankly on the whole I expected better from this work: a) generally disparaging view of business/industry and b) a lecherous senator being described as a "family values conservative" (I haven't heard of many conservative senators whose favorite causes are diversity and green energy, but I digress). Not enough to ruin the book, but enough to make me roll my eyes and say, Oh, come on, Mr. Author, you're better than that! On the bright side, this book succeeds where so many others fail, namely in the ending. Too many authors come up with a clever idea, then write themselves into a corner or get bored and give us a disappointing ending to what could have been a great story. Not the case here- the ending is strong and satisfying, worthy of the rest of the story. All in all, an enjoyable experience.

The Good...
The best thing about Splitting Adam was the humor, which turns what otherwise could have been a heavy-handed drama into a wondrous experience we share with Adam.
In some ways the guardian angel, who just happens to sound like a native from Philly, reminded me of the ghosts of Christmas Past and Present in the Bill Murray comedy Scrooged. It didn't hurt that by the end of the book the angel was looking up information on his new iHeaven.
Ford's explanations for questions many of us have on scripture, like why there's no marriage in heaven, and why certain things are possible though they seem impossible are sensible and understandable. Still, he leaves room for our own interpretations as well. I particularly like the explanation of why socks seem to disappear in the dryer.
This is one of those great stories that leave you rooting for the characters by the end, then holding your breath as everything comes to a climax. I even had to grab a tissue as I finished the book because it literally moved me to tears.
The Not-so-good...
The prologue really wasn't necessary. In fact I thought the story would have been even better if I hadn't known how it all began. I strongly suggest skipping it unless you have a deep desire to know the answer to the mystery of Adam's parentage before reading his story.
The Overall...
I laughed my way through Splitting Adam by John C. Ford and came away with a deeper appreciation of my own path of life. If you enjoy a story with a solid Christian message and lots of humor, you'll love this book.

Splitting Adam
By John R. Ford
Adam Tyler is restless he was called to be a pastor but for some reason he never feels fulfilled on his thirtieth birthday he is visited by an angel sent from his mother. When the angel asks him what he wants Adam pulls an “It’s a Wonderful Life” moment and wishes he had never been born but what he doesn’t realize is that even if he had never been born his mother and father would have still procreated only with other people causing there to be two half selves of Adam. This is not just Adam’s story but theirs as well and the only way Adam can get home is to change his own perspective of his life.
This was an interesting novel of the power of faith and realizing you are just a drop in a pond but the ripples your life creates are what truly matter. John R. Ford did a wonderful job bringing Adam and his two half selves to life, each one unique and no quite as distant as they may seem at first to each other. Though Victor is a businessman and Chase is a con-artist they all share something at the core of their being that is irreplaceable, goodness and kindness. It’s a heartwarming story that I recommend for anyone to read full of love and cherishing what you have, which is a good lesson for anyone.

Sometimes a book comes along that really surprises you - Splitting Adam was one of those books for me. Not because I was expecting anything less than a good read, but because this book is out of my preferred genre, and I wondered if it would keep my attention – it did.
Starting with the title and ending with the last sentence of the book, John R. Ford did a great job putting a new spin on an old story. The well-developed characters are interesting and personable, with a down to earth humor that keeps the underline Christian theme from becoming preachy. The captivating storyline kept the book moving along at a steady pace, and Ford did not fail to deliver a well-written ending. I walked away from my e-reader with a smile.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a light-hearted, entertaining book to read.

The author took an age old question, "What would the world be like if I didn't exist?" However, he added an interesting twist of having two halves existing instead of the one whole, thus forming a new paradigm where each half is at polar opposites of each other.
I viewed this as a standard paradigm of your clergyman...walk the path of the righteous but the Pastor's thoughts and feelings were very "normal" human. Though he served God, he was not bound by the strict observances of the priesthood. This made him easier to relate to.
Seeing his two halves, Chase being his dark side while Victor being the more righteous half provided a visual of what was really inside Pastor Adams.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a unique perspective of a man unhappy with his life. Adam is shown what would have happened if he was not born, but instead two version of himself exist. Adam watches these versions of himself over the next few months identifying with both halves.
This book was a really good read. I liked the perspective and enjoyed it. I too did not know this was Christian fiction. The life lessons learned were well done and not overly thrown at the reader.
Now I wonder what the two versions of myself would be like. Great read!

A great, cute read. Pastor Adam is unhappy with his life so on his 30th birthday he gets a visit from an angel and wants to see life as if he was never born, a la It's a Wonderful Life! Like George Bailey had Clarence, Adam also has a quirky, Philly-accented angel to guide him, however, Adam's story & experience is a bit different than George's. Adam's parents still procreate, just not with each other and he ends up watching his two half-selves and the drama they create! Will Adam find a way back to his own life? Will he find meaning & happiness in life after his experience?

It was nothing like I expected it to be.
This is simply a new shot on the old premise of a tormented soul being shown by a celestial entity ld have how things would have turned out without them in the picture. A little A Christmas Carol meeting Heaven Can Wait.
The plot development requires the reader to have a sappy or christian nature in order to enjoy it.
I have neither.

John R. Ford did a great job with Splitting Adam. I truly enjoyed reading this book. It was a quick read, which I liked, and kept my attention throughout the entire story. (which is not always easy to do.) I found the concept intriguing and the characters believable. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for something a little different.

I love reading this book! It was interesting and witty, and now I'm wondering what my "half selves" would be like. :)
