Product Description
One of the greatest love stories ever told, beautifully repackaged for a modern teen audience
Love the Twilight books? Then you'll adore Wuthering Heights, one of the greatest love stories ever told.
Cathy and Heathcliff, childhood friends, are cruelly separated by class, fate and the actions of others. But uniting them is something even stronger: an all-consuming passion that sweeps away everything that comes between them.
Even death…
"My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks," said Cathy. "I am Heathcliff."

Format:Paperback
This is my favourite book of all time. Emily Bronte is a wonderful writer and creates a vivid and brave story which you won't want to leave. Yes, the cover is meant to entice all the Twilight fans in...but is that a bad thing?! It might just get a few teens to read some decent fiction, which has to be a good thing! :)

Come on people, what with the cover bashing??? Whatever happened to not judging a book by its cover???,
Ok, i understand that this book has suddenly become popular again due to its mention in "Twilight", But surely if that gets just a few young people reading a classic then im all for it. I can see why this book is compared to twilight, its about all consuming love, but without the vampire aspect. Im 35 and I loved the twilight series, ive read them many times, i also loved this book. Im all for the revamped cover if it gets the story out to a younger, wider audience of readers, who may normally not read this kind of classic. Introducing a younger audience to the classics can only be a good thing, however they are enticed ;)

Novel: wonderful.
Cover: not.
The reason why I do not like the cover is that it implies that this is only worthy of regard because of Twilight (which as I hate Twilight, as well) is simply not true.
If it gets teens to read, I could pretend that this is very good, yet truly, I don't really care. Reading always has been a personal experience and the characters feel like they belong to me, so it is hard to see them branded as nothing more than Twilight spin-offs.
Perhaps a selfish view, yet I know that this book will survive with or without the cover, and boosting sales really means nothing to me.
If the girls (or boys) who read Twilight, read this then fine, if they can cope with it. But the likelihood is not. So yes, I really am peeved that my favourite book is being re-branded so. Selfish, I know, but at least this is a personal review.

Awful Cover
How anyone can even begin to justify the change in the cover for this book, is beyond me. How disgusting that they'll take a literary classic, and revamp it just so it looks like... Read more

Emily Bronte deserves much better than this cover
I love the book, it is my favourite novel of all time. However, the cover is awful.

Oh dear...The one star is for the concept, not the novel...
Can we expect snazzy black, white and red covers on every novel ever written that features any tale about forbidden or difficult love? Read more
