Has anybody read it? Or other books by the Brontë sisters?
I liked it. Wrote my last English literature paper on it.

I started it one day when I was sick and had nothing else to do. I actaully didn't finish though. Couldn't really get into it even though it is a 'classic'. Oh well I'm sure it's lovely even though I don't find myself loving it.

I was given it with Jane Erye for my twelth birthday. I read Jane Eyre then (I took me a couple of weeks, I seem to remember...) but I was told by many people to wait to read Wuthering Heights until I was fifteen. Which I did.
I read it in a night, found it fine to follow and easier to understand than I was led to believe... but to be honest I liked the illustrations better than the actual book. I really liked it, and I think it's absolutely amaying that she wrote it... but the only reason I look at it again is for the pictures. Oh, i do like the quote 'In my heart and soul I'm convinced I'm wrong'.
Jane Erye I love! I've reread it heaps over the years - I think it's great. I've also read 'Agnes Grey' which I really enjoyed. It was a nice story. I've started Villette, but haven't seen to be able to finish it, and my library doesn't have any of their other work. I really want to read their poems!

Yes I agree that Wuthering Heights is not so easy to read But it's still awesome. It's no children's book as many assume...
vikingmaiden: It's about 7 pages long...if you want to read it I could send it by PM?
I've read Jane Eyre too....very impressing.

Do people think Wuthering Heights is a children's book?
I studied it in English 2 years ago and I really liked it though I think it helped that I'd already read it the year before. And I love Jane Eyre even more.
We're reading Villette in English next year

Hello Wuthering Heights is a wonderful book. Although I did not like Heathcliff very much - too much revenge in his heart. I have read Jane Eyre many times. Excellent book as well.

I did enjoy Wuthering Heights, although nothing could ever top Jane Eyre for me. I adore that book.
