Summary: the best book in the world
Review: I read Wuthering Heights for first time when i was 12 years old.Now I`m 18 and I`m still reading this book.And at everytime i read it, I can`t hold myself from crying. I think I read it for at least one hundred times.It is the best love story ever written.from the first chapter, it starts to effect you and you cannot give it up till you wil finish it.At each chapter you start to ask yourself "what will happens?, what will he or she do?" or questions like this.I want to say here if you want to read it, don`t think anything.Buy it and read it.you will see that it will become your bedside book.I can`t describe it in words because i can`t find the best words to describe it.It is the best book.I CANNOT FIND WORDS TO DECRIBE IT.

Summary: Beautiful Love story
Review: I was assgned this book to read for my 12th grade english class. While reading the first chapter, I thought the book would be boring. But as I contuned to read, I fell in love with the characters (even mean old Heithcliff.) The move was a dissapointemnt because it did not even go on to tell the story of the second generation, which by far was even more exciting then the first generation. I love this book, I encourage all to read it.

Summary: The best romantic novel written
Review: If anyone doesn't like this book, it is indeed because they are either a high-school student forced to read it, someone who doesn't like 19th Century literature, or someone who expects "nice" characters. The strength of this story is that it is written about very flawed people. It is dark and passionate and very non-PC. It would never be written today. In short, it is a masterpiece.

Summary: No Words describe it...
Review: I read this book when i was sick and asked my father to bring me one of his books. He brought me this one, and I could not put it down. I cried and wondered and thought about everything in it for days afterward. I still think about it. It was a whole experience, the reading of it, and taking it all in. i can understand why some high school people wouldn't just love it, but i think that has something to do with being "made" to read it. I read it before anyone made me, so reading it again was easier. I seriously think that it is one of the best books ever written...

Summary: The best novel ever written by a woman
Review: I found Wuthering Heightsto be a very good novel. I had to read it for 11th grade Honors English. At first I thought it was just average but after I got to the second half the book I enjoyed it so much more. I was amazed at how Emily Bronte was able to weave the two generations together. It was a very in depth book but a also very rewarding one.

Summary: The characters did not evoke compassion or passion from me.
Review: I read this book last year for my AP English class. That was the ONLY reason that I finished this book. It was a huge task just to finish a page of Wuthering Heights; it was almost impossible to complete it. I enjoy characters that I can care about. I like to be able to really feel like I want something for a character. If that happens, then I want to finish the book; I want to know what happens to the character. I found with Wuthering Heights I hated Catherine and Heathcliff. I wanted them to die. I was supposed to be sad when things went wrong in their lives, but instead I was so happy. They were selfish, cruel, horrible people and I wanted them to DIE! Was I really supposed to like these selfish people? Since when is love a selfish thing? This is supposed to be a marvelous love classic, but where is the love? Love isn't just about what makes oneself feel good. Love is a kind, caring, sharing thing. Catherine and Heathcliff were selfish, cruel people. They deserved each other simply because they would make each other miserable.

Summary: A most amazing novel
Review: Every time I read this book I feel a little different about it. Or more acuratly I see something in a different light. This is a book about pure emotions, passions, and the cosequenses of feeling so strongly. It's a book where anybody can relate to at least one characters at least one time in there lives. Who wouldn't want to be loved the way Catherine was loved. Or how Heathcliff could have been. This novel is filled with "what-might-have-beens". However it ends wonderfully, and the reader is satisfied. It will bring out the passionate romantic in you.

Summary: Love and madness
Review: I'm forever indebted to my mother for convincing me to buy this book. I thought,"Another boring 'classic'." Boy,was I wrong! Although it's long and sometimes confusing,I soon couldn't put it down. It's deep,delving into human emotions. Many of the characters have love-hate relationships with each other,and I felt the same way about them. Heathcliff and Catherine were evil,but who can't identify with their romantic feelings? The book showed how deadly obsession can be and how far-reaching its consequences are. It's one of the greatest books of all time. If you want to read something that changes the way you think and expands your horizons,get "Wuthering Heights."

Summary: Ahead of its time
Review: Powerful tale, not perfect but well ahead of its time. Two of literature's great characters in Heathcliff and Catherine Linton, an unusually well-developed supporting cast, and innovative narrative control that utilizes two classic "unreliable narrators." An accessible, gripping interrogation of nature versus nurture. A landmark, and the bar against which other works of this time should be gauged. 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
