Wuthering Heights

Rating:
Summary: Loved it
Review: It is a very powerful book that captures you immediately into its narative. You want to grab these two characters and tell them to STOP hurting each other. My wish for them has always been happiness together but that never happens. They are doomed from the start to live life loving each other from a distance never being truely together. I wish more people would read this classic for this really is one of the best.

Summary: What a great book!
Review: This is definately one of the top ten best books I have ever read. The plot is wonderful, and the charceters are extremely well devolped. I have started staying up as late as midnight to finish it. My only complaint is the narritive is hard to follow sometimes, and I keep getting the Cathrines mixed up. Otherwise, it is great.

Summary: A Bitter and Beautiful Love Story that Defies even Death
Review: Upon the understanding of the Earnshaw and Linton family histories, one can begin to enjoy the twisted and beautiful facets of Emily Bronte's plot. The development of the character of Heathcliff is nothing short of genius. He is a true villain that at times can be greatly sympathized with because of his great loss, the love of his life. The gothic elements in this novel greatly heighten the overall effect of Bronte's plot. A beautiful story that is indeed a classic of English literature.

Summary: I Hated Everyone
Review: All I could think about when reading this novel is what character am I supposed to be interested in. My answer was none of them. I could not stand anyone of the main characters, and began to rejoice in anything negative that happened to them. Maybe I was supposed to feel that way. In any circumstance I would not say it was an enjoyable read.

Summary: Wuthering Heights, beautiful but boring
Review: I found the flow of this book to be very nice. I thought that it was interesting how in some parts, it was a sotry inside a story inside a story. The wording was interesting and there were many nice lines. As with most classics,for me, it was hard to get involved with the story right away, but being a hopeless romantic, my interest was held when I realized that Catherine and Heathcliff were in love. After the whole bit between Heathcliff and Linton, after Catherine died, the story kind of went downhill. I was no longer interested in what happened. It was depressing because the theme that existed throughout was of falling in love, and then dying. It was very sad, but at least it was written well enough to touch my emotions. I like Emily Bronte's style of writing, but the plot wasn't quite what I anjoy reading.

Summary: A Good Book
Review: I was very much looking forward to a wonderfully written, romantic classic, but I was disappointed to find that the romance and love is not as moving and touching as I had expected. For one reason, the two main characters who fall in love are dislikable characters. I did not like Catherine or Heathcliff, and this made it very hard for me to enjoy the book. However, despite this, I still enjoyed this book. I do recommend it although I was disappointed.

Summary: Could of been better.
Review: I am in the middle of the book right now, so far it has been boring but some parts were interesting. There was confusion with the part of the narrator though. It was not constant and the language used is also confusing. Overall, it could of of been better(on the other hand, the description of certain things were fantastic).

Summary: An often mis-represented book.
Review: Very often Wuthering Heights is represented as being purely a great love story between Catherine and Heathcliff. This, in my opinion, is far from the truth. It is a classic book and there is certainly a great deal of passion in it, but it is about a great deal more than just the love of these two charachters. It is also about the wild moors and the people they produces, about how evil propagates itself and how ultimately a little bit of compassion can overcome years of hatred and mistrust. Read this book, but not just because you think it's going to be a beautiful love story. Read it because it provides an insigth into love, life and the whole human condition.

Summary: Wuthering Heights is a great love story and well writen
Review: Wuthering Heights is a great love story all the characters are well developed. You grow to love and or hate some characters with a passion at one point you want Heathcliff to just roll over and die and the next you are feeling sorry for him. This book may not have been well recived at the time of is publishin but now it is of the greatests books of all time.

Summary: A judgement call
Review: Despite its outward appearance, Wuthering heights is not a romance story. Bronte's purpose in writing this novel was to find out whether or not her criminally-inclined brother could be forgiven. She represented her brother with Heathcliff, a character whose depth of emotion and spirit-- an almost inhuman depth, far surpassing all except Catherine I-- perhaps made possible the extenuation of the absolute evil of his vengeance. I'll say no more, Bronte's purpose was that every reader judge for himself.
