Negative Positive
Title: An Explanation
Review: I can understand why some people gave this book only 1 star, they hated the abuser. It's natural for human emotions to take order and take control, but this book suceeded in making many people steam and vent and ultimately (either for better or for worse, your call) hate the book.Alice Hoffman is a very talented author and it shows with this book. What other book out there can lead you to fall in love with a character, only to hate him in the end because he developed and became older and viewed life in a harsher way?Here On Earth is one of the most realistic and painful books I have ever read...good job Hoffman.
