Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë 


My Rating: 3 of 5 [I liked it]


This review is of the Amazon Classics ebook edition and the companion audiobook. For the folks who might read this review and have not read Wuthering Heights but plan to, I'll try to save you some likely frustration. 

The first three chapters are from Mr. Lockwood's point of view, which is read by Michael Page in the audiobook. Mr. Lockwood rents Thrushcross Grange and visits the landlord at Wuthering Heights to be sociable. He becomes bewildered by how he is mistreated.  Despite being informed his visit was not appreciated, Mr. Lockwood vows to return the next day.  Upon returning the next day he is stranded there by weather and discovers his earlier horrible treatment is not unusual.  I suspect he felt it similar to an undesired visit to Newgate Prison or The Tower of London Prison.
