Editorial Review of Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics)
Published a year before her death at the age of thirty, Emily Brontė's only novel is set in the wild, bleak Yorkshire Moors. Depicting the relationship of Cathy and Heathcliff, Wuthering Heights creates a world of its own, conceived with an instinct for poetry and for the dark depths of human psychology.
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Pauline Nestor
New Preface by Lucasta Miller

Customer Reviews of Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics)

Review Summary: This Heathcliff Is No Pussy!
Review: (Like the curmudgeonly CAT in the COMIC...get it?)
Great old-style classic novel. One of Henry Miller's favorites; that's what attracted me to it.
I liked the style of the narrative, largely told through the reminiscences of the housekeeper Nelly. This is one dysfunctional family!
Like many novels from this period it's all about the interpersonal relationships; there isn't anything external happening to anyone here of any particular consequence. But the masterful storytelling and imaginings of the authoress really do make this a worthwhile and rewarding literary journey.
Read it! Classics rule!

Review Summary: A great read.
Review: Although some of the plot elements seem preposterous today the story remains a great read. What a love story! A great tale of people sometimes setting in motion awful events due to their desire to do what they see as right in their own eyes. Recommended. Well-written.

Review Summary: Interesting but tedious.
Review: Heathcliff is a fierce, pitiless, wolfish man inside and out. His character makes this an interesting story. But it was a little tedious to read. Sexual language: none. Number of sex scenes: none. Setting about 1775 to 1805 England. Published about 1847. Genre: obsessive historical romance.

Review Summary: Free SF Reader
Review: Set on the moors, it is a pity that the Hound of the Baskervilles didn't get 'em. This would have saved a lot of characters a lot of grief. An orphan is taken in, and the problems start there as he grows up, has his own problems and inflicts them on others. The great detective has something to say about such places : "But look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in, year out, in such places, and none the wiser. Had this lady who appeals to us for help gone to live in Winchester, I should never have had a fear for her. It is the five miles of country which makes the danger."

Review Summary: It really helps!
Review: This is one of the Best ways of learning SAT vocab, or simply vocab for your own personal gain. Read the classic work on the right, SAT words are bolded and defined on the left. The real kicker is that words are repeated throughout the book. After seeing words over and over you learn them extremly well. Great Concept, Great Study Aid, Great Book!
