Title: come down to earth
Review: I could not believe Alice Hoffman's unoriginal retelling of Wuthering Heights, which is basically all this book amounts too. The theme has been done... and done considerably better than this superfluous attempt. Not only is the use of present tense extremely annoying, but the way Hollis obtained March's and Allan's land was unbelievable. It was a fact that women could not own their own land when Heathcliffe took Earnshaw's property in WH; however, in Here on Earth, it is unbelievable that a lawyer would not think to rewrite his own will after his daughter was born and certainly after his wife died. I was shocked to see that Michael Douglas (who does he see himself as: Hollis?) had bought the rights to the book... jeez, look out for another Hope Floats soon.
Is the review positive or negative?
