It was really scattered and I didn't like the way the author told the story or her style. Pretty much turned me off Alice Hoffman novels.

At first I thought this was going to be a predictable "man versus nature" diatribe with nature winning, but actually had more complexity to it. An enjoyable read.

Well-written and literary. Spooky in a realistic way.

Very thought-provoking; most typical of Hoffman's work. The book is well-written; characterization is done well. Anyone who enjoyed her other works will surely love this one. I highly recommend it.

I love Alice Hoffman's writing style, but I don't think this was one of her best books. The ending was a surprise and still left you kind of hanging. I liked Ice Queen a lot better. This book was not a romance by any means, but it was a very sexual book.

It's funny that I loved this book as much as I did, seeing as how I despise Wuthering Heights. Alice Hoffman's book is a modern take on Wuthering Heights, but where Bronte's book failed to get me to care for ANY of the characters, I loved the one I met in Here on Earth. The heartbreak, the hope, and the love are evident with each turn of the page.
