Summary: My favorite book
Review: This is simply the best book I have ever read. You can't just read this book, you have to feel it, breathe it and live it. I simply love it.....

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It sucked
Review: The Real name of this book should be Wuthering Bites. This book is a piece of poo and there is no exciting parts. The whole book pretty much bit and I will never read it again.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This book is not worth the $5!
Review: I am sorry for even hearing about this novel and i am very upset that it was required reading in my high school. It is horrible out-of-date novel about a guy named Heathcliff, and that's where i fell asleep. The description of things in this book take up 8 lines at a time and are unecessary! I don't reccomend this book to anyone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The greatest love story of all time
Review: The best the millennium has to offer as the greatest tale of star crossed lovers. Also includes my favorite literary character, the tortured, sardonic, passionate, dastardly, impossible-to-imitate Heathcliff. The relationship between him and Catherine, who is herself a pretty unusual tragic heroine in that she is a selfish, bitchy girl with little to redeem her, is one that still grabs my guts after reading it so many times. I can see people getting confused at the beginning with Mr Lockwood/Nelly/Mrs Heathcliff, all that, but come on everybody, are we all too lazy in the 20th century to read a page twice if we don't understand? You'll get to the good stuff.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Decent
Review: Wuthering Heights doesn't have the creativity or vividness as that can be found in Jane Eyre. With just a bit more passion, or shall I say obsession, this book will touch the hearts of teenage females more than Jane Eyre. This book was rather a bit too sappy and it felt like you just HAD to give the characters some sympathy. For poker-faced die hard pessimistic readers, this isn't one you'll want to try.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This novel was really complicated and a waste of my time.
Review: I don't understand why we (seniors) had to read Wuthering Heights in order to graduate. The book has nothing to do with us at all. The book was really complicated and the movie was worse. Why did they use the same characters over and over again. And by the way, how old was Nelly Dean anyway? This book really sucked.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good, yet I was rushed...
Review: I have to say that this piece of literature is truly a classic in its own right. One couldn't consider it a love story or even a tragedy, and it comes out defining its own style. The only problem is I had to read it great haste, because the thesis paper on the book is due today!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITE BOOK.
Review: I read this book when I was 15 or16, I think, out of curiosity, I had heard so much about it. Three years later it is still my favourite book. I lost track of the number of times I had read it. To me it is the greatest love story ever written. At first, I felt it strange that the hero of this story should be an unbelievably evil villian, but I later understtod that Heathcliff was not your conventional love-sick melodramatic hero, and how Emily Bronte could make this character appear deserving of sympathy and even a little admiration, is nothing short of literary genuis. I had come to that conclusion years ago- you had to love a man who could love like that. I felt his character was more rounded than any character I've known. Some people might find the book depressing, gloomy, even a bit morbid-no doubt it is, to a cerÝain extent.I found it to be the most realistic, passionate and romantic love story I've ever read or will read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is now a permanent part of my soul.
Review: As a high school junior, i was skeptical of reading an old book by an even older writer. I thought that it would be as dry and bland as all the other books presented to me in class. What 15 year old would look at a book called "Wuthering Heights" and presume that inside it was every emotion and feeling that someone could ever experience? Now, as a senior, I have re-read it several times over. It has become a part of my permanent literary collection and a part of me. The words and emotions of "Wuthering Heights" have taken over my soul. As cruel and painful as some of the emotions of the book may be, I need them. They are a part of me and I will never let them go.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THIS BOOK REALLY SUCKED!!!!!!
Review: WHEN WE FIRST STARTED TO READ THIS BOOK. IT WAS REALLY BORING BUT THEN WHEN WE GOT ABOUT ONE CHAPTER INTO THE BOOK IT GOT EVEN MORE BORING. I AM SORRY THAT WE EVER HAD TO READ IT AND WE ARE NOW DUMBER FOR HAVING READ IT. THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT.
