Until 3/4 of the way through I was highly tempted to dismiss this book with a two word review: "Histrionic nonsense." At about that point, however, I was struck by a resemblance to a superficially altogether different genre of literature - no, not the oft noted influence of the wildly popular only a...
“He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.” ― Wuthering Heights Emily Brontë Wuthering Heights is a tragic classic tale of love and anger and pain, as well as the big family fallout's that come with it. The two main characters in this book set abou...
Third or fourth rereading. For some reason, this book strikes me as more violent each time I read it. I don't think I want to attempt it again for a decade. Or two.

Beautifully written but unfortunately the unbearable characters and the equally grim circumstances (a...
I read Wuthering Heights for the first time back in high school. The book captivated me then, and continued to do so throughout the following years. I think I've watched every move adaption there is, and I had wanted to go back and read it again sometime. I'm glad that I did. I loved it just as mu...
Summary: Many people, generally those who have never read the book, consider Wuthering Heights to be a straightforward, if intense, love story — Romeo and Juliet on the Yorkshire Moors.
