5.0 out of 5 stars Classic that fits no genre, 3 Feb 2003
By "lexi_wades" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Wuthering Heights (Penguin Popular Classics) (Paperback)
WH is, essentially, a story about turbulent people living in a turbulent place. I don’t think Bronte meant her characters to fit certain “social types” or be analogies for something else but to be real people unfortunately in very difficult circumstances and I believe that is how WH is best read.
As dark, haunting and changeable as the other Bronte sisters’ infamous classic: Charlotte’s Jane Eyre is personal and gently loving- the two novels are both works of genius but a million miles from each other. However, both have wonderful descriptions of the Yorkshire moors and a sense of real feeling behind their story line.
One of WH strengths is its change of narrative voice- there are two main narrators and letters and other media between. This gives a sense of many people affected by one story thus heightening the strength of Heathcliff and Cathy’s passion.
The end of WH is one of the most discussed in literature and if you are reading it for the first time the question of whether it’s happy or not will occupy you for a long time.
With so much literary criticism spent on WH it is difficult to add original comments. So I would simply urge you, if you haven’t read it yet, to get a copy- it will live with you forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, 29 Nov 2001
This review is from: Wuthering Heights (Penguin Popular Classics) (Paperback)
Right, where do i begin??? how did i ever live without reading this book?? i was told by some idiot that it was boring which put me off for a while, but i read it recently and was totally blown away!! It is honestly the most intense, passionate, maddening book i've ever read. It starts out strong and keeps on going, i actually had to force myself not to read it all in one night and to save some for the next day! Emily Bronte uses such powerful imagery in her prose that it just stuns you. The setting of the story in the Yorkshire moors was absolutely fitting, i doubt that if it had been set anywhere else it couldn't have possibly been half as powerful. The moors add to the air of mystery, gloom, beauty, passion,love, and tragedy. Heathcliff and Cathy are definately the most interesting and intense pair of lovers i have ever read of. Heathcliff especially provokes me, mostly because i cannot decide whether i love or hate him, and that is but one part of the genius of this book. Heathcliff is the hero/anti-hero of the book and just so utterly fascinating a character. The best ingredient of this masterpiece is the fact that the story takes place in such a secluded region, with equally interesting characters, away from the social niceties and civilities that are common in other books of this time. Therefore, the passion and tragedy of the love and hatred in this story is more strongly felt. I could honestly go on forever but i'll spare all you readers out there. All i will say is that you definately must read this book, i know that this is horribly cliche but it truly is one of the best books i have ever read in my life! You will not be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cathy! Heathcliff!!!, 1 April 2005
By Sam Howard 16 (St. Helens, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wuthering Heights (Penguin Popular Classics) (Paperback)
wuthering heights is one of the best books ive ever had the privilage of reading. from the very beginning the brooding moors and the demonic behaviour of the characters enthrals. the love of Catherine Earnshaw- daughter of the owner of wuthering heights, and Heathcliff the strange foundling gypsie adopted by the family. after the death of Catherines father, heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherines brother Hindly. believing Catherine doesn't love him, he leaveswuthering Heights, only to return years later as a gentleman, fixated on getting revenge for his childhood and determined to rekindle the love he shared with Catherine.

the story is great, the plot is entralling, the characters are amazing!!!! READ THIS BOOK. its one of those stories that will never die. a true classic]#
