Book Review II - Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

Character: ★★★★★
Setting: ★★★★☆
Plot: ★★★★★
Overall: ★★★★★

Summary: This book is also set in England and is told from the point of view of Mr. Lockwood who stays in the Grange which is in the Yorkshire moors. Sparked by curiosity, he visits his tenant's (Mr. Heathcliff) house and from that time, he gradually learns of the dark history of Wuthering Heights which is where Mr. Heathcliff lives. The story has many deaths and is tragic, but ends quite peacefully because Mr. Lockwood finds out a year later that the 'crazy' Mr. Heathcliff has died, and Hareton Earnshaw and Catherine Linton are living happily together.

I like this book a lot. The plot is extremely gripping and dark, because at least three of the main characters die. This book is aimed mostly at girls because i would expect that boys wouldn't like the crazy love scenes. There is a lot of death and tragedy though. Heathcliff annoyed me a lot, even though he was crazily in love, because it was mainly because of him that Mr and Mrs. Linton died.
