Summary: Maybe the best novel ever.
Review: When you read it, make a chart showing the relationships between the characters, arranged in three rows (one row per generation). Also be alert for her intelligent, subtle, and pitiless sense of humor ("Joseph's head appeared in the window.").The book works on all levels, including eloquent and sometimes beautiful prose (check out the last paragraph first, which won't ruin the plot for you). It will get re-read by me more than anything else except maybe Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". I wish I could have had the privilege of having the friendship of the author, who was an accomplished pianist, famous in her neighborhood for her bread, and once beat a dog senseless with her bare hands.

Summary: A depressionist novel of heroless romance
Review: They might as well call it a Soap Opera From Hell---Heathcliff's married to the sister of the woman he loves, Catherine. Catherine loves Heathcliff, but couldn't marry out of status, so she marries this Ergar guy for the money. Then, Heathcliff goes nuts and plots vengeance on everybody, taking the kid, Hindley, and teaching him to hate his father, making everyone alcoholics, chasing his wife off in tears and fits of misery, ruining the half dozen lives of the people around him. How can they call it a romance novel?! Days of Our Lives has better plotlines, Dante's Inferno had more heroic characters. This book's great---interesting to English Majors and Gothic [people] alike.

Summary: darkness will prevail!
Review: this book has haunted me from the day i've read it. however i'd read it again because it is written so well. Heathcliff and cathy show a love so intense and deep that hatred creeps into those very soulls who once loved more. a story which unfolds gradually, emily bronte has shown immense skill and talent and in the end produced a masterpiece which will never be forgotten. be patient though, it gets too dark and slow at times. but do read it ........its definitely worth it.

Summary: Creative romance novel mixed with firey passion
Review: This book is a great mix of passion, love, betrayel, and revenge.
i would recommend this book to everybody. But you might want to have a dictionary handy. Be prepared to read things more than once because not all things make sense at first. if you see the movie it might enable you to understand the book better.

Summary: Decent story and characters ruined by poor writing
Review: To give "Wuthering Heights" some credit, the story and characters aren't half bad. The plot is interesting in and of itself, and the characters are all easily imagined if not terribly well-rounded (with the exception of Heathcliff, who can be appreciated fully when you consider both his cruelty and his motivation and origins). All in all, the material is promising. Unfortunately, the writing is so convoluted and verbose that you'd need a machete to ... your way through it. And "..." is an accurate verb; typically whole paragraphs and pages are filled with needless complications so that it's more like deciphering a code than reading a story. The sheer amount of effort that it takes to get very little payoff quickly breeds apathy. After a while, I didn't care who Catherine married or who was narrating or anything else. The book has some other flaws (most noticeably the use of death as a cheap plot device) but the writing's really what sinks the book. If you like slaving away for minimal payoff, this book's for you. Otherwise...

Summary: Caos
Review: This book did not interest me in any way. it just went on and on. its almost like it had no ending. they had way to many charactors. If you have a lot of time to read go for it and read it.

Summary: Wonderful Gothic romance . . .
Review: Some readers may be put off by the "classic" genre of this book. The only reason I read it was because I had to for English. Well, I was glad I did. It is extremely difficult to understand at times, especially with the constant switching of narrators. I had previously seen a movie production with Lawrence Olivier, which I loved, and although it was quite different from the novel, it helped me to understand much of what was happening. The romance between Cathy and Heathcliff is absolutely heartrending. To all of those who love passionate romance (though not passionate by today's sense), I recommend this wonderful book.

Summary: Wonderful gothic melodrama, possibly about inscest?
Review: I can't recommend Wuthering Heights enough. It tells the story of the doomed love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by her father. There is an implication, which not everyone may have picked up on and in never confirmed, that their relationship is inscestuous and that Heathcliff is the illegitimate son of Catherine's father. This idea is based on the fact that it seems highly unlikely that Earnshaw would have picked up a strret child to adopt without some sort of motivation. The gothic genre was also fascinated with strange relations etc and whilst authours would not have been able to look at inscest openly they would have been able to get away with subtle undertones that many people would not pick up on.
There is an immense sense of landscape within Wuthering HEights and I feel that the title and setting reflects the unbridled passions of the characters within the novel. Emily Bronte's beautiful descriptions of the rolling countryside reflect her love for her home at Haworth. The plot can be a little confusing because of the way the characters all seem to have the same names (two Cathys, Edgar Linton, Linton Heathcliff, Heathcliff etc) so if you can get hold of a family tree it'll really help you to follow the plot. Like all classics, Wuthering Heights takes a bit of time to get into but keep going and you won't regret it.:)

Summary: Death-defying love and mean people.
Review: Let's admit it, as good a writer Emily Bronte was, she wasn't as good a writer as her sister, Charlotte. Her only major work, WUTHERING HEIGHTS clearly illustrates that. The writing is superior to most fiction that one reads today and the story is rather interesting. Yet, it failed to catch my attention as easily as JANE EYRE did. There are very few likeable characters in the story (the young Catherine Earnshaw, the housekeeper, and the narrator) and the ending seemed rather hasty. Nevertheless, WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a classic and for good reason. It examines a love that defies death, how important our relationships with other people are, and the value of words. It takes awhile to get into the book, but once one passes the first few chapters, it's hard to put the book down.
