Summary: It's different every time
Review: I've just finished Wuthering Heights for the third time, and I'm still finding new insights. The book is so different from the film adaptations, anyone who expects them to be the same is in for a big surprise. The first chapter hits you with all sorts of seemingly muddled relationships, but as Nelly Dean lays out the story for Lockwood, the tangled web acquires a pattern. Some people go on about the passion between Heathcliff and Cathy, but that is such a small part of the story. In the end there is redemption for the families (although few are left living to enjoy it). This is a thoroughly engrossing story -- haunting.

Summary: Interesting for mature readers
Review: Many adults seem to enjoy the book. Well, why not?? it resembles a soap opera. Being a high school student, i'm not very interested in that type of literature. However i must agree, it does contain ideas that will last centuries. Basic human flaws and sins (like pride and revenge) are represented in the novel. Overall, its a decent book, but specially for a mature audience.

Summary: It sucked!!
Review: My eleventh grade teacher made us read a book and I, not realizing how terrible it was, picked Wuthering Heights to read. I couldn't stay awake and after about 30 pages stopped reading it. Anyone in their right mind or left for that matter, would not read this book!

Summary: Wuthering heights was an emotional break through with meanin
Review: Readers: I feel Wuthering Heights related to my life and easily to many others. Thr characterization between Catherine and Heathcliff was most interesting to me. I loved the finesse between the two of them. Their love was eternal because "whatever their souls were made of, his and hers were the same..."(73). When I read the each chapter it seemed a mystery because you never knew if the two would show their love or hide it. Another element of the book that made it interesting was Heathcliff's revenge against Edgar Linton and or actually the entire Linton family. The hatred he felt was produced by Hindley his father. In return, Heathcliff treated his own family meaness of a bear for his sufferings from the past. Heathcliff displays a tendency of resentment sympathising "with all his feelings, having felt them myself"(201). Emily Bronte showcases relationship Hareton and Heathcliff to Hindley and Heathcliff to show the viscous circle through generations. Emily Bronte perceives the minds of her readers and reveals how life can go in circles unless someone breaks the chains. To anyone who receives Wuthering Heights, I really do think the novl is worth reading. I, myself am not big reader but this book can catch your attention and keep you on your toes because there is a mystery in every chapter. Nicole

Summary: Incredible
Review: To say Wuthering Heights is dull and boring, is to deplete your own humanity. Bronte's novel is an incredible depiction of life and the relationships in it. Love is a contradiction; Love is difficult and Love is kind. Each of these characteristics jump out of the text with the turn of each page. Heathcliff and Catherine are either in denial of their love or overtly showing it. I would highly reccomend the book to anyone who wants to further their education with a worthwhile experience.
