Summary: Wuthering Heights--Made Me Cry!
Review: My friend lent me this book, and at first I didn't want to read it, but I am SO glad that I did! One of my favorite parts is where Cathy is explaining her love for Heathcliff--"Nelly, I AM Heathcliff!" and the part where Heathcliff and Cathy are reunited. This book is one of the best i've ever read. Sorry I can't quote more extensively, but I don't have a copy handy.

Summary: Moving and Timeless Classic.
Review: I think this book evokes controversial responses from readers because of the ending and because of their failure to interpret this piece of literature. Wuthering Heights is not just a love story--it's a story of relationships, class struggles, the angst of the soul, passion, remorse, and regret. It is about everything that makes us human, e.g. the power to choose between good and evil. It is about obsession and how it can kill the soul. The story is masterfully written, filled with symbolic representations. The reader must read between the lines to truly appreciate and understand this great classic!!

Wuthering Heights is my favorite book next to Pride &Prejudice.it is so great!i cried through the whole book.i read it 6 times. the emotion is just so deep. Cathy & Heathcliff just loved each other so much i dont think Heathcliff was bad just a victim of circumstances. i would have rated it more than 5 stars if i could have. oh by the way its not a book for people who dont appreciate good literature!

Summary: I did my research paper on this book
Review: I love this book. I love this book. I love this book. It is a story of human nature. I think we all know people like the characters herein in real life. Wuthering Heights is the apotheosis of the classic. I know two people, very close to home like Catherine and Heathcliff who never reached union in this life. There are so many undercurrents to be picked apart in Wuthering Heights. I chose the relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine for my research paper. But there was the weather, and how it mirrored all the actions of all the characters in the novel. This is one of my favorite books.

Summary: Half of a Great Book
Review: I was loathing this book, hating the heroine. Catherine Earnshaw is the most hateful and irritating woman in English Literature. Then, thankfully, around mid-point, Catherine Earnshaw does the reader a favor and dies, leaving the book to Heathcliff. The second half of the book, in which Heathcliff returns to exact his revenge, is one of the most gripping tales I have read.

Summary: Amazing novel that will appeal to almost everyone!
Review: Since the age of 17 I have read this novel 6 times and I must say from the first time I opened its pages I was hooked. It is a story of the true love and true hate that is inherent in all human nature that engages its readers deeper and deeper with every word. Almost every character in the novel is both loved and hated by the reader at different times, and I always find myself longing for the reunion of Catherine and Heathcliff no matter how many times I read the story. Emily Bronte was an author well before her time, and I have read nothing so far that even compares to the beauty of this novel!

Summary: My favorite book ever!
Review: This book is by far the best book I've ever read. The important thing is that you read it slowly so you don't miss any important information. I cried several times throughout the story. My feelings towards the older Catherine and Heathcliff went back and forth throughout the book, but for the most part I liked Catherine and disliked Heathcliff. I like the way history repeated itself with Catherine's daughter and Hindley's son. It was a good way to conclude the story; it gave a feeling of things coming full circle.

Summary: Great read!
Review: At times the reader despises a character in this book, the next minute he/she loves him/her (and vice versa)! All characters have flaws: Cathy's haughtiness, Edgar's wimpiness, Linton's peevishness, Heathcliff's evilness, but these flaws only make the characters more interesting. Take Hareton and Heathcliff for instance; both posses a strong and profound character instilled with a certain degree of pride, and both posses the potential for becoming good or evil. Heathcliff becomes revenge-driven because he once had been loved and his love is taken away by Edgar, who is not even, according to Heathcliff, capable of being loved: "I was a fool to fancy for a moment that she valued Edgar Linton's attachment more than mine. If he loved her with all the powers of his puny being, he couldn't love as much in eighty years as I could in a day...It is not in him to be loved like me; how can she love in him what he has not?" Heathcliff is angered because he knows Cathy still loves him but is wasting her love on Edgar, who doesn't even deserve her love and is making her worse by trying to care for her: "He might as well plant an oak in a flowerpot and expect it to thrive as imagine he can restore her to vigour in the soil of his shallow cares." When Heathcliff was loved by Cathy, he had the potential to become good, but when he is deprived of her love, he becomes evil. Very engrossing book!
