Rating: Summary: A book all young adults MUST read Review: The story of a woman struggling to continue loving her former love, with her teenage daughter at her footsteps. A book all young adults, even teenagers, MUST read.
Rating: Summary: drab, boring, almost awful Review: after reading this book, i hardly remember what it is about. perhaps this is b/c i almost fell asleep while reading it. the characters were disgusting and the plot quite boring. i didn't even care what happened to them. to compare this book to bronte (as someone has in a previous entry) is a shame. hoffman is nowhere the level of bronte; to do so she would actually have to be "readable".
Rating: Summary: I hated the characters. Review: I immensely hated these characters (specifically March) but that's what made this book so haunting to read. Everyone has faults, that's spelled out clearly in this spellbinding (literally) tale by Alice Hoffman.
Rating: Summary: The reality is nothing is perfect Review: Some people have romantic notions of what true love is. "Here on Earth" shatters these notions, yet at the same time gives us an appreciation for true love and commitment.
Rating: Summary: Better than I had expected Review: All those 1 star reviews tempted me to buy this book and figure out whether or not this book would have been as bad as everyone made it out to be; guess what? THEY WERE WRONG. I fell in love with this books, the characters were different, the story timeless. Come on....even Wuthering Heights was a rip off.
Rating: Summary: A DARING STORY Review: With so many lack luster books out, this book was a delight. A refreshing story with it's mix of unusual and tempting characters. I can't believe some people though this book was boring, this is one of the most entertaining I've yet to read, this coming from a person who reads a book a day.
Rating: Summary: Good, but not Great Review: This book is too much like "Wuthering Heights" to be taken seriously. Change the time period and the characters names, and it's Bonte's novel. It's good, but certainly not the best I've read.
Rating: Summary: Great story! Review: i thought it was a great book from beginning to end! I found myself wanting more details when i got to the last page. I wanted to know more about March at the end and how she recovered w/ her family. Hoffman is a superb writer and i will be reading more of her works!
Rating: Summary: An unreal and boring story Review: I found this book to be so unreal and unbelievable that it was hard for me to relate to the story. I felt detatched from the characters and even bored at times. I also thought the main character was a poor representation of a woman, especially in her regard for her daughter.
Rating: Summary: Picks up Where Bronte Failed Review: Erotic and lusty, this book was more detailed and beautiful to read. The love was so powerful, that it hurt. Very true to the tale story.
