This book is about obsession, resentment, and revenge but definitely not about love that’s for sure. I never once felt as if I were reading a great love story. Never! I would say it’s about two insufferable people and their childish obsession that is all. For me the major letdown was the narration. ...
There is not much point in writing a review of a book that has been already reviewed 948.467 times here, what more is there to say? So I'll write only very few thoughts.The main characters, Catherine and Heathcliff, are so complex, mean and selfish that the writer must have had a twisted mind to ima...
I'm so on the fence about Wuthering Heights. On one hand I loved the writing and the story, but on the other hand the story moved so slowly that I read it over a span of half a year. There was nothing that gripped me or made me continue, it's only because I've got such an expensive edition that I fe...
A few months ago I re-read Wuthering Heights. I had read it before, many years ago, as an impressionable teenager but couldn't remember much about it as most of my impressions from reading the book had been edged out of my memory by Kate Bush's song and Monty Python's most excellent re-telling of th...

“Bad dreams in the nightThey told me I was going to lose the fightLeave behind my wuthering, wutheringWuthering Heights”Kate BushQuoting a pop song’s lyrics is not a terribly literary way of starting a classics book review but I considered going with “Man! That was awesome!” but decided a shout out ...
“Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you—haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always—take any form—drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! ...
