[показать]Oh, my gosh! I loved, loved, loved "Wuthering Heights". I actually loved the book so much that I don't even feel like writing about it because my scribble will most certainly do the novel no justice. I believe that "Wuthering Heights" is the first book, out of those I've managed to read in the last few years, that I have unequivocally enjoyed from the very fist page and could not put down. I got so caught up in the story that, having opened the book yesterday morning, I could not take my mind away from it until I have turned the last page, in the process neglecting hundreds of pages of the reading that I was supposed to do for college.

As a girl ought, I have always enjoyed reading a good romantic novel, which has led me to adore Dumas as a teenager as well as to waste quite a few hours on dime novels many of which are not worth paper they are printed on. Plenty of the stories in this genre have succeeded in stirring my emotions to some extent, which, I admit, is a very easy task; nevertheless, I have hard time remembering anything that have left me as wrought-up as "Wuthering Heights" did. There is no doubt that the wild, maddening and all-consuming passion that is the main subject of the book is like nothing I have previously encountered.

Being perhaps the least imaginative reader out there, even I managed to feel completely immersed in the gloomy world of "Wuthering Heights". None of the characters has left me indifferent -- the intensity of their feelings, the reckless abandon with which they live, the extremes of their behavior are sure to find a response in many readers. While to some extent a romantic novel, the books is as far from typical love story as one can get, which, in my opinion, makes it ten time as interesting. I do not usually recommend books, but I'll make an exception for this one. I think that "Wuthering Heights" is something one who enjoys reading absolutely must add to her reading list. No movie -- and there are a few of them -- can do it justice!
