Book Reviews of Wuthering Heights (Bantam Classics)
Book Review: Two Enduring Romances in One
Summary: 4 Stars
Although this novel is a "Classic," it is NOT
classical in the plot. Bronte actually uses
two seperate romances that is linked by the
Heathcliffe, who cannot be called either villain
or hero. The two divergent romance plots are
engaging and beatiful much due to its pain and
struggles. One of my favorite all time novels,
I recommend this to anyone who believes in the
all enduring power of love.Book Review: I,a freshmen, loved reading Wuthering Heights in 8th grade
Summary: 4 Stars
I had to read Wuthering Heights in my 8th Grade English Class last year, and I thought that the book was brilliant! It is filled with love, passion, deceit, greed, and everything in between. A word to the wise. Be willing to spend some time with this book. You will thank me. Wuthering Heights isn't something that you just read over the weekend, you really have to put some time into it. This has to be one of the most complex books I've read in a while, and its complexities is what makes it brilliantBook Review: The best book I ever read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
No book has changed me as much as Wuthering Heights has. Its appeal for me is in its sense of otherness, something so completely removed from ordinary life. Wuthering Heights is set in a realm where ordinary morals do not apply, where love is transmitted via pain and suffering, a maelstrom of the extraordinary, which lasts for about 40 years, and then is gone. Heathcliff and Cathy must be two of the most unique figures ever created in English literature. Cathy, the spirited and vengeful heroine, who pays for her one fatal mistake with her life. Heathcliff, whose drive for revenge can only be calmed by his love for Cathy. Wuthering Heights is a microcosmos, another universe, so alien and foreign from ours. Its roughness and brutality may confuse us, but beneath the pain is love and tenderness
Book Review: If you suffer from boredom, this may help ...
Summary: 3 Stars
...but otherwise, there's a plentiful selection of better books to read before this one. This book contained likable and despisable characters, a rather uncommon trait these days. The plot and character interaction were at times confusing, yet really didn't go anywhere significant. Remember, old and british doesn't necessarily equal good.Book Review: Missing the Hook
Summary: 3 Stars
Wuthering Heights was well written, I must admit, for what it was. It never failed to convery its primary themes; jealousy, betrayal, and revenge. At the same time, it was missing the hook that captures you and makes you care whether the characters succeed or fail. I waited for it chapter after chapter until finally I couldn't seem to feel anything for Heathcliff or Cathy. I have read other works by the Bronte sisters. And while I won't discourage anyone from reading a book they are interested in, I must warn you, if you have any illusions that this will be in some way similar to that of "Jane Eyre," do not waste your time.
