Wuthering Heights

Summary: Wow, what a waste of my time!
Review: I am a senior in high school... My teacher loves this book for some WEIRD reason.. She made all kinds of hype over it and made it sound like a great book and we would love it. How wrong she was!!! I don't think one person in class liked the book, and most of us are advanced readers. At any rate, the teacher still thinks its a great book and tries to ignore the fact that nobody likes it. The storyline is boring ...its someone telling another story....when half the characters have the same name and its really hard to figure out who is doing what and who is who at times! I wish I didn't have to read this book!

Summary: A great book!
Review: As a high school student, I had a hard time relating to the book until I really looked into it. It's incredible story, that of Heathcliff and Catherine. It's amazint to me that their love transcends everything...even death. You don't see love in that sense today...to die for love. I thought the representation was terrific...the Grange being a wonderful colorful place...and Wuthering Heights remaining a desolate wasteland. The end, although depressing, followed the novel well. An excellent tale of love and suffering.

Summary: Ummm...sure....
Review: OK, I'm not an absolute fan of Victorian Era novels, and never will be, but I am a lover of classic literature. I read this book as a Freshman in High School, and let me tell you, unless you want something to prop up a wobly table (and with abouuut 400 pages, it does a very good job), don't even consider buying this wretched novel. I'd rather read Jane Eyre again before even attempting to read this terrible piece of literature. If you want something from the Victorian Era, go grab Sense and Sensibility, that at least makes some sense. For the love of all that is Holy, though, don't buy this book!

Summary: A beautifully written novel of love and tragedy
Review: I loved this book.. It's beautifully written and well composed. A novel of passion, deceit, and forgiveness.. An undying love that affected many in the book. A wonderful novel that I recommend all to read.. Katharine 14

Summary: GREAT novel although dark
Review: I loved this book! The characters were so enchanting, yet so real, I felt as though I could reach out and touch them. This book will capture your heart and never let you go until the end. I have to admit; however, that it was a little dark and depressing. I preferred Jane Eyre, which has, in my mind, a happier ending. But, read for yourself and decide. It's the best!

Summary: Wuthering Heights is truly a great British novel.
Review: Wuthering Heights is a tragic tale of lost love, rage between men, and the sorrow caused by broken hearts. Its author, Emily Bronte, led a reclusive and private life, much of which is revealed through the events and characters of the novel. I feel that it rightly belongs among the great novels of British Literature, due to the controversy and interest it caused upon its publication.

Summary: SIMPLY GREAT!!!
Review: I loved it...a great love story that all women will relate to

Summary: Great!
Review: I had to read this book for my high school English class. Although I took the easy way out and read the "Cliffs Notes", I found them absolutely enchanting. I later took time to read the book for myself. Bronte uses such magical words and compellingly tragic sentences to blend this book into a masterpiece of Victorian Literature. Through Heathcliff and Catherine she proves that hate, no matter how strong, will always be defeated by love in the end.

Summary: It's haunting...and it's real.
Review: For the first time I got to read this absolutely astounding masterpiece, I got thrilled and enchanted by the most beautiful language, descriptions that make you see the set and actions before your eyes, and of course this consuming crazy passion which entwines both main characters. Emily Bronte succeed not only in creating a most touching, and yet horrifying love story, which can only be compared to Phantom by Susan Kay,but also managed to make it a Gothic tale with symbolism and double meaning all around. This is a book to be read many times, and understood deeply. I was 16 when I've read it for the first time, and since then I reread it for countless number of times, and each time I discovered something new. It helped me to grow emotionally. In this story, "physical" true love is lifted above our world, ad turned into something more spiritual. The bond between heathcliff and Cathy was so strong that it conquered death. A greatest love story of all time. A must-read for anyone.
