Negative Positive
Title: Disappointed!
Review: I couldn't wait to read Here on Earth after having read several of Hoffman's other books. Boy, was I ever disappointed to find I knew what was coming at every turn of the page at the start of the book. It was as if I were rereading Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte -- just different names (although Hollis and Heathcliff do start with the same letter and both housekeepers last names started with D!), a different setting, and a different time -- too many similarities for me to overlook. How disappointing! I didn't even take the time to finish the book.
