Wuthering Heights
Okay, I had to read this book in English to let you know. Here is basic plot synopsis:
Wuthering Heights is a 293 page romance novel which follows the relationship between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff through the eyes of there servant, Nelly. As a romance novel, it contains an extremely predictable plot, albeit too complex for what it tries to do. Heathcliff is a pretty much a mean and grumpy man who cares way too much about material possesions and Catherine is an ignorant dumb !@#$% who falls in love with this guy.
Because he's such a self centered dumbass, he ends up indirectly killing people around him to inherit Wuthering Heights along with Catherine and Hindley's(Catherines brother who also has a deep hatred towards Heathcliff) fortune. He's crazily in love with Catherine, and for some reason, still treats her like !@#$%. But when she dies, he's like "OOH WHY U DIE CATHERINE" and stuff.
To be honest, this is one of the worstly written books I have ever read. It's almost as bad as Romeo and Juliet, but no peice of literature is that terrible. The way it is written will not only put you to sleep, but it will continue to confuse you. In the beginning of the book, some one else is narrating it, but then like later, Nelly is narrating it and you don't know when exactly that happens. Not only will that confuse you, but apprently, back then, they didn't know when to make a new paragraph. There are some giant walls of text that go on for a like 2 pages with no end in site. It's hard to remember what line you were reading when you start a new line.
There were no talking animals, giant robots, interplanetary wars or, for that matter, knights and dragons. What the !@#$% kind of story is this peice of !@#$%? No dragons? Whats a romance novel without a few alien wars? Nothing. I'll tell you that.
The story is extremely drawn out too long as well. It could easily be written in about 120 pages, but it goes on for about 170 more for some reason. It probably would of been more if it was properly spaced!
Don't even get me started on the terrible lack of personality for characters. Anything 1 character says can easily be said by any other character. I've seen better characters in books like How to Kill a Mocking Bird, which actually had a nice varity of character.
I'd recommend reading a novel with substance, not all the filler as seen in this book. If I could officially rate this book below a 0, I would but I have to be fair.
Score: 1/5 Jacksons: Pretty high up on the list of "Most Terrible Things Ever Made"
It's boring cliche romance novel story line and bland characters are sure to keep a person who likes shitty literature hooked. I'd recommend reading something of quality, like the Screwtape Letters. Now thats a great book. In other words, don't read Wuthering Heights. Unless you want something to fall asleep to.
