When I set out to read this book, I never imagined that I
would enjoy it as much as I did.
In comparison to other books I've read, it was amazing
because of the way it's so different from what you'd expect. Many of the
characters are selfish and unlike able and that's what makes it so intriguing,
because the love story is a story of two people who know they love each other
and yet for reasons that they can't sort out between themselves, they don't get
together and then what leads on from there is totally unexpected from a love
story, that it's just worth reading for that. I won't spoil it!
The thing I really enjoyed about the book was the fact that
it doesn't just follow the youth of the characters, it follows their lives and
it's just beautiful to see how everything unfolds and how their children follow
or completely change from the legacy of their parents. It was a good book
because it wasn't just two separate families, it was two quarreling families
and the fact that it didn't include third parties meant that the story was a
lot easier to follow and the happenings were a lot more intense because you
could follow the developments of the relationships between the characters as
the years went by.
Above all, I would definitely recommend the book because of
the fact the story unfolds in the most amazing and intriguing ways. I mentioned
earlier that I liked it more than I thought I would and that was because, as
many book worms out there would agree with me, when you read a book written
from first person, and the narrator is selfish and perfectly detestable, it can
completely ruin a good story line because of the way the story is distorted by
the narrator's completely dumbfounded and unrelatable judgements. However,
despite the fact the characters aren't exactly likable, it's not written from
their point of view and that means that the narrator's views are expressed
which makes the childish disputes and sulkiness not appear acceptable, rather,
the narrator balances out the actions that make you question the sanity and
morality of the main characters altogether.
The narrator was also one thing I loved about the book
because she was both personal and detached; she knew the characters incredibly
well and that meant that we could both watch the story unfold and know exactly
why things were happening because of the point of view the story was written
from. She both could relate the exact happenings and give us as the reader
enough insight as the story unfolds for us to be able to follow along the
character development and that was brilliant. I've not come across a novel
written like it and
I would thoroughly recommend the book if that sort of thing
would intrigue you.
Finally, the ending was awesome because generations down the
line, the characters actually become quite likable and that means that the
story ends on a high and not a low like you might expect. The character
development is fabulous and the depth that you can gain from each detail as
well as the observations of the narrator just makes Wuthering Heights a
fabulous read.
I hope that you liked this review, it's spoiler free and
perhaps may serve more as a recommendation rather than a review. If you guys
want me to do a review of the story and the characters, please do let me know
because I just wanted to make sure that you didn't get the story spoiled for
you if you were planning on reading the book! Thank you for reading! :)
