Title: Not worth the price I paid for it
Review: After buying the book on a friend's recommendation, I was greatly disturbed to find it nothing but a modern version of Wuthering Heights, which was not particularly enjoyable to begin with. In Hoffman's book as in Bronte's, I found very few of the characters even remotely likeable. I thought it was a shame to call March and Hollis' dark obsession 'love', when it seemed to me to be anything but. Hollis was a stereotypical abuser who attempted to control and isolate March merely to give himself a sense of power. I didn't feel that March's feelings and obsession with Hollis were very developed and I found myself unconvinced of her 'love' for him. Nor did I feel that the initial relationship between Gwen and Hank was particularly well developed. All in all, just a trashier, more violent version of Wuthering Heights.
