Summary
Add a SummaryLockwood, a new tenant, has stumbled upon his landlord and the cold house he owns.

A story within a story- 2 tales of 2 generations that fall madly in love, and the darkness that ensues because one's love is denied. This isn't some pretty love story, it's a dark yet memorable novel of how love manages to live on- despite all odds.

Add a Commentextremely well written with characters that you can't help but hate
I hate this book so much. Never have I ever read or come upon anything as evil as Heathcliff is. It made my heart ache to know the things he did, the way he thought. I, in all my hate, could not put the book down, however. Its captivating.
Wuthering Heights has a very complicated plot line. I got confused quite a bit near the beginning and the points between switching narrators could often be unclear. I found though it was a well written book, but the motives for the characters were quite creepy.
i really like the story line but what happened in the end was crazy
This is one of the greatest books ever written.The love between Heathcliff and Catherine is maybe the only good thing about either one of them, and it destroys them and everyone around them. Beautiful story.
Could become confusing at times, but it was written using a beautiful style. It wasn't my cup of tea, but not bad either.
This definitely isn't an easy read, and it takes a bit of work to understand it, but it IS worth it! For once, it's not a cut and dry fairytale ending- it's reminiscent of a Shakespeare tragedy. At times you just want to shake some sense into Catherine and Heathcliff. Finally, a realistic portrayal of people (and life) by a classic author! It's not all rainbows and bunnies, and Emily knew that.
I don't understand!!! :'( This took me two months to read cause I had to re-read so much because I was confused.
Possibly my favorite book, I have to re-read it every few years or so. After so much familiarity of the subdued English love stories of Jane Austen and the like, this love story is refreshingly, if not entrancingly, unconventional. The main characters are brutal, horrible people, but perfect soul mates. But their love destroys everyone, including themselves, which they may even embrace? It's a fascinating relationship, and a good sell on the Gothic genre as a whole.
This book deserves its reputation, both in being horribly depressing and an amazing book to read. You do not need to like the characters (indeed, I hated most of them and it added more depth to the book then if I had been indifferent to them) to appreciate them and how they are portrayed. It can be quite hard to get through some of the passages and even harder to understand some of the things they say to each other, as we just don't use the same phrases anymore. In particular, I found i had to read aloud anything that Joseph was saying to understand it, and even then it would only be every other word that I could understand. The book really does pull you in, and it makes it very hard to put down.
