I really liked the reading, the different volunteers all are chosen to fit the characters - as this is one of my one of my favourite books i love hearing it come to life like this. I understand that people unfamiliar with the material would not appreciate how fittingly they are chosen, being confused over Josephs grumbling and mumbling, about the rough voice of Heathcliff and so on...but it fits them perfectly, these aren't smooth characters, just as the book is no smooth and relaxed read.

Einer der stärksten Romane die ich kenne - kompliziert, tiefgründig, genial aus Sicht einer Frau geschrieben, packend. Tip: einen der beiden gleichnamigen Filme aus den siebziger Jahren in KZbin ansehen und sich von den faszinierenden englischen Kabalen fesseln lassen... Persönliche Bemerkung: habe das Buch zweimal in Deutsch, einmal in Englisch und den Film dreimal studiert, und finde den Roman immer besser. Und verstehe viel von den "versponnenen" Engländern und ihrer eigenartigen, noch heute ungebrochenen Kultur.

Perhaps I should add my comment in brief English, too: this is one of the greatest, most fascinating, and ingenious novels I ever read: an intrigating story, written by a Victorian-time lady (beeing one of four sisters who then had to publish under male pseudonyms), and of the deepest psycological insight. For continental readers it reveals quite a lot of the (as worthy as complicated) British character. Advice: see one of the movies from the 70ties if the first three chapters of the book seem too complicated at the first glance.

Attention! This comment contents spoilers. Wuthering Heights is one of the most impressive love books. The book reveals the bond between love and hate. We can see two strong emotions conversion to each other.And lots of revenge... The chronological order of events is straight. So you don't slog to understand what time did it happen. İt's about that; someone who crush because of social class difference and his revenge. When you read it, you can see hate is more stronger than love. On the other hand, the basis of hate is based on love. A vicious circle... An amazing book by Emilie Brontë
