Summary: ABSOLUTELY.....STUNNING!
Review: Oh my God! This was the most amazing book I have ever read. I cannot express how thrown i was by this classic tale of disturbed love and torturous passion. It knows no bounds!! The most amazing experience for me was to read this book, Cathy is beautiful and ghostly, Heathcliff is dark and still, yet undercurrents of black, storm his character like a great tempest! The relationship between Cathy and Heathcliff could be explained as so: Cathy is Heathcliff's light and Heathcliff is Cathy's eternal darkness, these are two characters who love what they have learned to fear! AMAZING!!

Summary: Amazing.
Review: I saw the movie of this before I read the book, and after being throughly confused by the movie, decided to read the book. I was amazed by the depth of feeling, and horrorfic passion of the characters. It is now one of my favorites. Some parts horrorify you, and some exist to make you belive in the power of true love. All in all, an incredible experience.

Summary: it was well wriiten and brillant.
Review: the point of view was different and that was one of the main things that i enjoyed about this book. at the beginning i was like what a boring book because it had nothing to do with what it was sopposed to andi was confused. but further on i started to understand and couldn't put the book down. heathcliff and catherines characters were hard to like but had to admire their love. it ws unique, something that only people dream of and even though theirs didnt work because their likves turned out the wasy it did catherine(2)and hareton experience love. it was well written and one of the best books i have ever read.

Summary: Tale from the Dark Side
Review: I heard that this book is a love story, but it is not that at all. Rather, it is a story of hate, anger, manipulation, and revenge. The two central characters, Heathcliff and Catherine, are the bad guys, not the good guys. Heathcliff is bent on bringing misery to everyone for real and imagined offenses against him. Catherine is merely another self-absorbed wannabe tragic heroine in the same style as Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. I was surprised to find that the love between Heathcliff and Catherine is *not* true: if they know love at all, they know only its dark side. (I found Edgar's love for Catherine to be far more mature and desirable than Heathcliff's even though it is shallow in its origins.) Their mutual obsession is simple and base, not profound or uplifting. It seems to arise mostly because they are very much alike. Their love moves them to act for evil rather than for good -- they wish mostly to destroy everyone, including themselves and each other. So instead of cheering for them, I found myself repulsed by them. I hoped with every turn of a page to learn of Heathcliff's death (and Catherine's, though it is known early on). Peace, happiness, and perhaps truer love may return to the Heights once these two are in their graves forever. If love does not conquer all, this book seems to say, perhaps death will. While you wait and hope for death to lend a helping hand, Heathcliff's efforts to destroy the Lintons and his deforming manipulation of Hareton Earnshaw will keep your attention throughout the story. This book is a fascinating study of the evil within human nature. If you want to read a good "hate story", this may be the book for you.

Summary: YUCK!
Review: The most absurd story I have ever read. I found the characters unbelievable and their behaviour utterly inconsistent. However, let us give Bronte her due: the book is marvellously structured, with the story told by Nelly Dean contained in the story told by the narrator. Moreover, through the character of down-to-Earth, jolly Nelly Dean, Bronte makes plausible a story that would never be believed otherwise. It's a pity she had to waste her talent as a writer on a such a pointless story, centered on an incoherent, cruel, mean character like Heathcliff. Hopefully she was not pointing him out as the perfect lover!!!

Summary: A classic, not to be overlooked
Review: Those who read this book looking for plots that are simple to follow and modern grammar will be sorely disappointed. It is a classic, beautifully written and descriptive. I chose this novel for my senior thesis, and when delved into more deeply, the complex relationships and manipulations between characters is astounding. Emily Bronte is an artist whom I greatly admire and will always look to as an inspiration. I pity those not exposed to this caliber of writing, and even more so those who cannot find any enjoyable portion of it. It is a work of passion, innovative in a time of repression.

Summary: Jane Eyre is wonderful, but Wuthering Heights is matchless
Review: The first book I ever read by the Bronte sisters was Jane Eyre, and I loved it, while WH was too gloomy for my 13 years. I still appreciate Jane Eyre a lot, but I think you can compare Emily Bronte only to Dostoyevsky. WH is above all about life, how it crushes a person, how it changes you from a child into an adult, often thereby destroying the best part in you, about making utterly wrong decisions for the society's sake...it is universal and timeless.

Summary: GEESE, WHY DOES PUTARURU HIGH MAKE US READ THIS BOOK
Review: This book sucked, i think it is the most boring book in the world, people say it is the most compelling novel of all time. I say those people are crazy. How do they expect us to gain university entrance when reading a book like this. By the way, how old was nelly dean, and why does it confuse us with the two catherines. And id also like to ad, Catherine Linton is a selfish tart, and Heathcliff needs to get a life.!!!

Summary: Could have been much better...
Review: For someone who spent her whole life in a churchyard, Emily Bronte had an astonishing amount of imagination...but, why waste it on this horribly pathetic, melodramatic garbage? I read it when I was thirteen, didn't like it, and was forced to read it again in high school. Do yourself a favor and read Jane Eyre instead.
