It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling,filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. Even if you donot like it, you should read it at least onceand those who dolike it will return to it again and again.【篇四】《呼嘯山莊》英語讀后感 Wuthering Heights was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnaturaland author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when Wuthering Heights received a second printing with an introduction by Emilys sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership.
