Wutheing Heights

Title: Wuthering Heights

Author: Emily Bronte

Genre: Classic

Brief Synopsis: Told from the perspective of a servant, Ellen Dean, the entire life story of an orphan, Heathcliff, who was brought to live with the Earnshaws. A story of obsessive love and its consequences.

Comments: I had heard that this book was really good, and when I look back on it, it was. I never get to really enjoy these books because of the pressure of having to do a book evaluation on them. It's a little confusing with switching back from past to present, but it is a captivating story.

Classify: Not too long, well written, will keep your attention

Worth Reading?: Yes. It is a classic, and it is really good. I recommend it, but not if you have to rush to read it. It's god if you take your time and really read it.

Would I read this again?: I think I will, but not for a while. One reason being that I have about 8 books I have to read before it, but other than that I just want it to sink in a little more and then reread it.

How long did it take me?: Like always, with no time to read, it took me awhile. But if I had more time, I think it wouldn't have taken so long. It's about 280 pages, so its pretty short.

Did I find it particularly easy or difficult?: There are a good number of names to remember, but it's not terribly hard. It's an easy read if you keep everything in line.
