Since Barnes and Noble decided to delete my first online review I decided to post it on here:
Wuthering Heights
I was assigned this book as part of the syllabus for my literature class. As I started reading it, I noticed that the plot never ceased to be interesting. Every step of the novel was filled with twists and turns that leaves the reader not wanting to stop reading. The characters are also fascinating in their personalities. There's Heathcliff, who's transformed into this monster-like human due to the treatment he receives at the hands of his guardian, Catherine, who's torn between her love of Heathcliff and her fear of living in poverty, and Nelly Dean, who's caught in the middle of the struggle between Heathcliff and the other characters. In a fairly unique style of dual narration, readers see the transition of the Earnshaw, Heathcliff, and Linton familes, united by several marriages, from one generation to the next. For anyone interested in the literature that marks the transition from the Romantic era to the Victorian era, this is a must read. It's a shame that Emily Bronte did not live longer to write any additional novels.
