Book Reviews of Wuthering Heights (Bantam Classics)
Book Review: It is now a permanent part of my soul.
Summary: 5 Stars
As a high school junior, i was skeptical of reading an old book by an even older writer. I thought that it would be as dry and bland as all the other books presented to me in class. What 15 year old would look at a book called "Wuthering Heights" and presume that inside it was every emotion and feeling that someone could ever experience? Now, as a senior, I have re-read it several times over. It has become a part of my permanent literary collection and a part of me. The words and emotions of "Wuthering Heights" have taken over my soul. As cruel and painful as some of the emotions of the book may be, I need them. They are a part of me and I will never let them go.Book Review: MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITE BOOK.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book when I was 15 or16, I think, out of curiosity, I had heard so much about it. Three years later it is still my favourite book. I lost track of the number of times I had read it. To me it is the greatest love story ever written. At first, I felt it strange that the hero of this story should be an unbelievably evil villian, but I later understtod that Heathcliff was not your conventional love-sick melodramatic hero, and how Emily Bronte could make this character appear deserving of sympathy and even a little admiration, is nothing short of literary genuis. I had come to that conclusion years ago- you had to love a man who could love like that. I felt his character was more rounded than any character I've known. Some people might find the book depressing, gloomy, even a bit morbid-no doubt it is, to a cer?ain extent.I found it to be the most realistic, passionate and romantic love story I've ever read or will read.Book Review: Decent
Summary: 3 Stars
Wuthering Heights doesn't have the creativity or vividness as that can be found in Jane Eyre. With just a bit more passion, or shall I say obsession, this book will touch the hearts of teenage females more than Jane Eyre. This book was rather a bit too sappy and it felt like you just HAD to give the characters some sympathy. For poker-faced die hard pessimistic readers, this isn't one you'll want to try.Book Review: The greatest love story of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
The best the millennium has to offer as the greatest tale of star crossed lovers. Also includes my favorite literary character, the tortured, sardonic, passionate, dastardly, impossible-to-imitate Heathcliff. The relationship between him and Catherine, who is herself a pretty unusual tragic heroine in that she is a selfish, bitchy girl with little to redeem her, is one that still grabs my guts after reading it so many times. I can see people getting confused at the beginning with Mr Lockwood/Nelly/Mrs Heathcliff, all that, but come on everybody, are we all too lazy in the 20th century to read a page twice if we don't understand? You'll get to the good stuff.Book Review: This book is not worth the $5!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am sorry for even hearing about this novel and i am very upset that it was required reading in my high school. It is horrible out-of-date novel about a guy named Heathcliff, and that's where i fell asleep. The description of things in this book take up 8 lines at a time and are unecessary! I don't reccomend this book to anyone!
