Wuthering Heights
Emily Bronte
This love story tells the tale of Heathcliff, the waif brought to Yorkshire by Mr. Earnshaw, and his passionate but doomed love for Catherine Earnshaw.






i read this 6 times when i was studying it for a level 20 odd years ago, it wasn't a chore
A work of genius on many levels,a great love story, a page turner and a gothic horror story.Blimey it has everything.
excellent book talking of the times that are our foundations.
Yes, it's one of my favorites also. I've read it several times and it just gets better with each reading. I love the intensity of the characters and they were so real to me. An eternal love story that I'll always treasure as one of the best.
I loved this book. The characters, how i could analyze them right down to their names. Its so much more than just a bunch of raving crazy people, there are reasons for their actions and mindsets and themes. I really enjoyed this book because i found that it had several layers i could dissect.
I have never read such a daft book in my life - its wonderful - picture that opening scene when our humble narrator knocks on the door of the farmhouse on the moor, its cold, snowing, and he is greeted by a snarling madman with snarling dogs - and it just goes on like that - people snarl and hurl pots and pans and are horrible to each other - I can't take it seriously - however in tribute to Emily Bronte who apparently owned a huge black dog (check out collar at Haworth) I did name my daughter Emily (Emiline Pankhurst had an influence too) apparently Emily B may have been anorexic or something - what a girl what an imagination what must life have been like up on the moors 'grim up north'
loved this book from cover to cover proving the classics can stand the test of time
I love the wildness of this narrative. A friend of mine complained that the (supposedly necrophilic) graveyard scene was 'over too fast' and hyped, but I can't really blame an author or book for retrospective emphasis.
Though the narrative itself seems quite feral, Bronte also displays a keen knowledge of legality and parallel storyline construction - as is visible in the hinged plot and the complex family tree.
And Heathcliff is in it.
