Summary: strangely satisfying, confusing
Review: Despite the fact that "Wuthering Heights" was a mandatory summer reading requirement, I think I enjoyed the novel. Emily Bronte has quite an imagination! Why so many tormented souls? Ahhh, I'll never understand it all.....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most powerful love story ever written!!
Review: Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte is a classic. It's the kind of book romance writers wish they could write nowadays. It's full of love and hatred, passion and madness, devotion and revenge. For anyone who loves the classics and has not experienced the sheer magnificence of this book, pick up a copy and feel all the strong emotions that come with loving until the brink of insanity.For those of you who have read it again and again, pick up this copy and meet Heathcliff and Catherine for the first time. This book could turn out to be your favorite example of indescribable passion put into words and unforgettable feelings forever seared into your memory. My favorite book of all time can now be forever yours!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I thought it couldnt get gloomier; then i turned the page
Review: My overall impression of this book is that it is a well-written depressing novel. The characters were well portrayed but the cruel and/or twisted natures of the characters made me feel dreary inside. The abominable Heathcliff is a prime example. I liked it okay, but this isnt a read over and over again type of book. however, I do think its the type of novel everyone should read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT LITERARY MASTERPIECE!
Review: Wuthering Heights is a truly classic piece of work which releases the reader from the conventional constraints of everyday life. It is a story of great passion and demonstrates the existence of great emotional impulses. I enjoyed it because it showed me that there is an underlying existence in everybody, that single-minded impulses are not condemnable. Yet Bronte achieves this in a subtle yet powerful way, using the setting to support the theme and thus giving the novel a resonance that will stay with the reader forever. If you can get past the complicated structure you will find a novel that gives you endless pleasure. I should know, I've read it 7 times now!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A classic for someone with a lot of time on their hands.
Review: This was a very good book which I did enjoy reading, but it's a little slow and dry at times, so people may lose interest, but stick to it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Get through Chapter 8
Review: The novel as a whole is not the best I have ever read; however, I did enjoy it somewhat. The symbolism and witt of the author more than make up for the slow beginning. Try it out and even though it starts slow; in the end it is a great story. Also, pay close attention to the generations. Just because the names maybe the same, the people certainly are not the same.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is a brilliant novel of engulfing need and love
Review: Brilliant. I have read this book and think the way Emily Bronte writes is so clever.I am only 13 but I still think this book to be nearly the best I've ever read and I have read a lot of books!!It is sad in one sense but the end is truly satisfying. A MUST!!!(I had the advantage of having the dialect explained at the end but even if you don't it is still extremely enjoyable) even though most of the characters are cruel some despite of that have an inner remorse. the book delves deep within the characters minds and presents them so well. It is a masterpiece

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truly A Wonderful Book!
Review: This is really a great book. At first I found it a little slow and complicated, but once I started to get into the story I couldn't put it down! "Wuthering Heights " is a moving story filled with love and tragedy. It is very interesting and descriptive, and the characters and their personalities are familiar by the time it's over. I thouroughly enjoyed it , and I think most anyone else who reads it will, too!
