Wuthering Heights Audiobook

" While this is a work of literary genius, I don't see how everyone is in love with it! Did we read the same book? This is not a love story. Love is not abusive or insane. Nor do I prefer to read about perverted human ideals for pleasure. I can live my own dysfunctional crazy life. "

" I read this when I was really young and I remember that I didn't much like it. Perhaps I should give it a another shot now that I'm older. "

" Can read it time and again...... "

" I love this book. Tried to get the Green Haven Book CLub to love it along with me but only one of them was willing. This is a powerful novel about how an osessive love and destroy the lovers and everyone around them. "

" I know it's a Great Work, but really--all of these characters deserved to be miserable. "

" Just stupendous. Blew me away. A romance like no other... "

" One of my favourite books. Romantic, tragic & historic all in one. I could read it over & over again. "

" This is another book that is perfect for wallowing in angst. The romance & pathos of it all.... "

" The most touching love story with out the artificial sophistication portraying the passion and vigor of intense and self consuming love "

" Good plot but I just can't take this style of writing. Sorry Bronte, I'm sure someone else appreciates it. "

" This book was random, crazy, and weird. And I loved it. So, so much. I was in an almost constant state of confusion for the whole book, and then it all came together to close with an ending that I did not anticipate for its sheer brilliance. Well done Emily, you outshine your sisters to this day. "

" I remember liking this book in high school. Time for a re-read "

" Certainly well written and may deserve another star, but I'm unclear about what makes it special and worthy of its status as a classic. "

" A nice book with interesting and memorable characters. I especially liked Edgar Linton and Hareton Earnshaw. Even though they were so different, I really enjoyed both of them! I strongly disliked Heathcliff though, especially in the second half of the book. "

" well written but i don't like how vindictive and sadistic Heathcliff is. Good book, not my type of story. "

" Well, I feel sort of embarrassed to say I hated this book, like it makes me look unintelligent. But still. I despised both Cathy and Heathcliff, and would have been quite happy with them both dead. I know that characters don't have to be likeable for a book to be good, but to feel at least a little compassion would have been useful considering this is a romance. Cathy was childish, selfish, stroppy and overall unlovable. At least Heathcliff had some character buildup that could lead you to understand his awful personality, but Cathy seemed to just be awful. What's more is I failed to understand where their undying love even arose from. They hung out as children... that was sort of it. I'd definitely never read it again. "

" Wonderful as always, reading an old classic every now and then between the new is quite refreshing...love love love Emily Bronte "

" I absolutely adored this book. It was required reading for my senior-year high school English class. It just might be the perfect level of angst and goth for a teenage girl. Or a 20-something. "

" The first time I read this novel, I was so caught up in the emotion that my heart rate sped up and I almost couldn't breathe. In other words, one of the best books ever written. "

" Maybe it was because I had to read the book for a class but I just didn't feel drawn to read it. When I did get into it, though, I quite enjoyed the book "

" Amazing novel. Go read it! "

" I think British novels just do not work for me - could have told the same boring story in about 50 pages. "

" not a chick and I loved it anyway! "

" Great book, but so dark. "

" Virginia Woolf said that Emily Bronte was the only author who could set down on the page exactly what she saw in her head. Perfect in its complex structure and Gothic feeling. "

" I absolutely adore this book and reread it every few years. "

" Been avoiding this one for years because I had a hunch it would bore me. It did. Not even Heathcliff's delicious cruelty could make it any more interesting. "

" I needed a book to read on a long flight and picked this one up in the airport b/c it's a classic. Not an uplifting read at all. Kind of disturbing story - This was not a healthy love :( I'm glad that I've finally read the book, but this may be one of those reads that once will suffice. "

" Maybe it's me by this was the second worst book ever, behind east of Eden by John Steinbeck "

" Full of characters I hated. By the end I was cheering for the survivors to the extent that I stayed up late on a work night to finish it. "

" I must be some cliche' teenage girl because I really liked this book. "

" It was a bit overrated, I enjoyed it but not as much as I though I would... "

" My favourite book by far! The expression of the passion between the characters are amazing. Will read it again. "

" Not bad at all. almost a page turner, although a very old classic book. I quite enjoyed this, it was a first time read for me, although I had seen a couple of films. "

" Not what I was expecting!!! Thought Wuthering Heights was going to be a romantic tale!!!! Lots of very interesting dark, manipulative characters! Brilliant!! "

" It took me a lot longer to finish this book than I had anticipated. It just wasn't as easy to read through and as captivating as I like. It was very well written and spans a very long time period in a very good way. "

" Read it when I was 19 in the middle of winter in northern germany....... brilliant "

" If you only read one book in your life, let it be Wuthering Heights. Brilliantly beyond compare. "

" not a chick and I loved it anyway! "

" Well, I think there were too many turns and it was simply not very believable. I enjoyed it, anyway, but it's not the book I would like to read one more time. "

" I love the overly dramatic characters of this book and the contrast of houses. It is very Romeo and Juliet, but instead of two lovers it is two lifestyles. "

" it really got me sad, "

" This book just fills me with hate. "
