When I was 17 I used to say this was my favourite book except I never finished it. Haha!And now, I am indeed glad I finally read this, if not only to justify one of the many stupid things I consistently did at age 17 (see also 1-16, 18-24) but because it really is exceptional.I've read a little abou...
An extremely potent revenge story, but one I felt physically sickened by. Unlikeable characters abound and an ending that I guess you could tentatively call happy, if it weren't for the incest angle.
Having read and loved this book when I was about 14, I decided that 17 years later a reread could be in order. To be honest I struggled, a lot, at the start. While there is no denying how well written it is, it's all so unrelentingly depressing. However I perservered and came to remember why I love...
Ugh hate the characters. Don't understand why people like the horrible Heathcliff. Especially after what he did to Linton's sister. How could anyone love him after that?ETA: On further reading I really enjoyed the gothic undertones.
This was a tale not of passion as much as obsession. Compared to other great classic romances this was no Pride and Prejudice in my eyes. I may prefer the fact that the prose of Emily Brontë is more obviously passionate than that of Austen's but in terms of storyline, plot and characters Austen wins...
Well, that was a surprise. Like the writer of the Penguin edition's preface, I had been under the impression that Wuthering Heights was a great love story. Instead it's a great hate story. A likable - even tolerable - character doesn't show up before Catherine junior (we'll call her Cathy); until...
This is my favourite book. I do not say that lightly, I've read quite a lot from all different genres and time periods, but this is my favourite book. Of all time. Ever. The ladies over at The Readventurer kindly allowed me to get my feelings of utter adoration for Wuthering Heights off my chest in ...
Dear Emily,I re-read your book recently. I’m pretty much confused now, because I know I somehow liked it, otherwise I wouldn’t have finished it. But then there are so many things I can’t (under)stand! Back then, were poor heating and unfriendly climate the only reasons for getting sick? I know your ...
I enjoyed this book. It was a difficult read to try and understand what was happening. There are a lot of characters and some with the same name. Definitely use a study guide (internet) to help you understand some of the more difficult chapters. This will be a book I will have to re-read again.
Probably the only reason I gave this book two stars is because of the David Duchovny song. Without this book, Bree Sharp could have never written that immortal lyric: "David Duchovny, hovering above me, American Heathcliff, brooding and comely." You know it.
