Wuthering Heights-Book Review.

After I had finished reading the Invention of Hugo Cabret, I moved on to the collection of classics that I had got. I started reading Wuthering Heights and managed to finish it all in one night. Its a good book but even after finishing it, I was still very confused on the concept of the book.

"A good heart will help you to a bonny face, my lad and a bad one will turn the bonniest into something worse than ugly."
-Emily Bronte                                        

WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT 

Image result for wuthering heightsThe book is-for the fist couple of chapters- in the view of Lockwood, the young man who had rented the manor from a man called Heathcliff.  Lockwood had gone down from his house to visit Mr. Heathcliff and was trapped there for the night as it had started to snow rather heavily. Lockwood asked many questions but got no answers. He left the next morning and went back to his house where, he then asked the house keeper what was going on and she told him the whole story. The book from then on in is told in the third person up until the last few chapters. 


WHAT ARE MY VIEWS ON THE BOOK

This book-I had the kids version but it still gave you the overall effect- was good. The characters had bee displayed nicely and the words that Emily Bronte had used to describe them gave you what you can imagine them to looked like. Even after finishing the whole book, I still had no idea on the overall concept of the book. It was a little confusing  but I still really enjoyed reading the book as it is a classic and has been read by lots of people all across the world and it was good to read  a piece of literature over 100 years old.
