The main protagonist is basically insane, and all the characters are sheltered and spoilt, they then fall in love and have kids. Their kids are sheltered and spoilt, and then they fall in love.

In a strange way it was interesting and hooking simply because the reader is just left in a constant state of unease at the cruel nature of the characters yet still left feeling this backbreaking amount of pity for the characters. But overall it was an excellent piece of literature, and Emily bronte does a brilliant job at creating such strangely human characters, exposing all their true natures and sides.

But yes. This title contains: Language. Had useful details. Teen, 13 years old Written by Hopeki December 31, Good book Fine book.

Steve Moretti Terry is right. I listened to them as audiobooks. They have a kind of hypnotic power that draws you into their stories and leaves you feeling like a part of you has been transported back in time.

Jane Eyre is a perhaps a bit more of a feel good read, if you could call it that. Jane gains strength and goes from powerless to powerful, in a series of twists and turns. The character development is strong and to my mind, convincing. Of course, the setting and time are so distant that you have to let yourself get transported into another world.

But isn't that why we read in the first place? Wuthering Heights is a different animal, but it deserves a read or listen, if for no other reason than the ending. It's brilliant! I just try to imagine the Bronte sisters writing these without a laptop or Google. Did they use a pen?

Mind boggling Wuthering Heights has a great deal of symbolism and that makes it a more difficult read for me. Emmaline They are both really great books. I found Wuthering Heights slightly more depressing because of the depressing worldview. But Jane Eyre is almost more sad because Read it and you'll see :D.

Maybe just order a pizza :. View all 4 comments. Rachel Wood I haven't read Wuthering heights yet, I am actauly about to start it :o. Its one of my favorites! Jon Jane Eyre is easier to read. Wuthering Heights has more complex vocabulary. BUT both books are absolutely wonderful. Don't forget to read Anne Bronte's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, because that is probably the easiest of all the Bronte sisters' novels to read, and more of a page turner in my opinion where the pacing and action is concerned.

All 3 are some of my absolute favorites! I even studied the Bronte sisters' novels while doing my honors English degree during my 4th year with Russell Perkin, at Saint Mary's University An absolutely amazing and highly amusing British professor! Abi Cook I couldn't get into Wuthering Heights. I tried a few times but it just didn't do it for me like Jane Eyre does.

That one is simply un-put-downable. View 2 comments. Anguish and frustration? The longing for more romance? Told in a setting that only screams tragedy and horror, Wuthering Heights manages to deliver an epic romance that leaves us wistful amid the fog.

And what classic book do YOU think everyone should read at least once in their life? Come on. He forgot the heaven thing they talked about! So much for that one sweet thing. These characters are so insecure.

Or selfish. Or both. I dare not tell! Scary guy. Funny to think that Heathcliff ever had happy days. Even when the original Catherine was around, he was pretty awful. All her nice books are mine; she offered to give me them, and her pretty birds, and her pony Minny, if I would get the key of our room, and let her out; but I told her she had nothing to give, they were all, all mine.

Fuck all the way off. They make it so hard to feel bad for them. Heathcliff, you have nobody to love you; and, however miserable you make us, we shall still have the revenge of thinking that your cruelty arises from your greater misery. You are miserable, are you not? Lonely, like the devil, and envious like him?

Nobody loves you— nobody will cry for you when you die! The line between passion and madness is super thin. Still not redeeming to me. No thoughts in this chapter. Another one with no thoughts! Sorry Wuthering Heights. That seems wrong? Heathcliff: he walked to the hearth in evident agitation; but it quickly subsided as he looked at the young man: or, I should say, altered its character; for it was there yet.

This scene has a lot of work to do. Not buying it. We did it. We made it to the end. A reading experience 12 years in the making.
