This novel is such an accomplishment. Emily Brontë, you ROCK.I say this, even though page for page, my heart and soul belongs with Charlotte – and specifically, with Jane Eyre and Villette. It’s just more of a match for me and who I am. Yet I admire and am astounded by Emily’s talent. That admiratio...
I've had to re-evaluate my opinion about this novel. I first read it last year (I think) and found it, well, "meh". I didn't care that much about it either way. It was fine. Now, however, I've had to re-read it for an essay, and I enjoyed it considerably more. To be strictly fair, I think that was m...
Oh Wuthering Heights. I tried to read this back in high school. It was on a list for summer reading. We had to read at least two from the list. I had already read two but decided to add a third just to give myself more options. I got about 70 pages in, realized I had no idea what was going on and I ...
Whilst I recognise that this is a classic, I just did not like it. The character of Heathcliff and all of the designs he laid out on the people around him (be it rightfully deserved or not) were two things that I found abhorrent about the book and as such I couldn't enjoy it. As romantic as it is to...
Given its cultural importance, I'm glad I read this book, but it's far from a favorite. I might have liked it better if this wasn't famous as a "great romance." Certainly even a lot of what is on the romance aisle has heroes patterned after Heathcliff--the ultimate brooding Byronic "alpha hero." The...

Sorry to say, I loathed it the first time, loathed it the second time, loathed it after reading essays about it and loathed the film too. Overwrought, unpleasant, not for me.
3.5 starsIt was a very good book, I liked it, but I don't understand why so many people talk about it as if it were a love story - it's not. Yes, Catherine and Heathcliff might have been in love with each other, but this is clearly not a story about romance. It's about hate, revenge, social differen...
Wuthering Heights is another book that deserves utter praise for being a novel that I hated simply because of the characters. This book is pretty much the most frustrating book I've ever read. I think I threw it on the ground too many times to recollect. Cathy and Heathcliff - GOD. If they just talk...
من از اون آدمایی نیستم که کلاسیک عاشقانه بخونم و خوشم بیاد. ولی متاسفانه افتادم روی دور کتاب خوندن و مخصوصا به ترغیب پدر محترم این چرت و پرتا ( تعبیر از داستانای فانتزی :دی) رو ول کردم یه کم کلاسیک بخونم. یلندی های بادگیر رو برای اسمش انتخاب کردم. هنوزم اسمش رو کاملاً می پسندم. نثر کتاب تا اونجایی ک...
