Review: Wuthering Heights


Wuthering Heights
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Expert narrator [a:Patricia Routledge|385743|Patricia Routledge|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66-251a730d696018971ef4a443cdeaae05.jpg] makes this book her own, after what I'd like to call the first act. During the initial exposition she is much too similar in her character depiction, but something about the vile servant Joseph arouses her interest and she is much better from then on. Now I know what Kate Bush was going on about and this is a good, imaginative Gothic tale seemingly coming from a much deeper well of experience than Emily Brontë had at her young age. Oddly, it is the adults that are more finely etched and realistic than the children.
