    About this audiobook


    Emily Brontë's only novel, published in 1847 under the pseudonym Ellis Bell, tells the tale of the all-encompassing and passionate, yet thwarted, love between Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw, and how this unresolved passion eventually destroys them and many around them.

    Now considered a classic of English literature, Wuthering Heights met with mixed reviews by critics when it first appeared, with many horrified by the stark depictions of mental and physical cruelty. Though Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre was originally considered the best of the Brontë sisters' works, many subsequent critics of Wuthering Heights argued that its originality and achievement made it superior.

      Since it came out in 1951, The Catcher in the Rye has meant different things to different readers. For some, Holden Caulfield was the rebellious voice of a generation; for many today, he’s a whiny rich kid; for a pair of recent biographers, he’s the

      This book held me captive. Complicated, full of passion and sadness.

    • 3/5
      Story got off to an okay start but got repetitive with affirming who was evil and was naive. To the point of silliness. Don’t look for any gratification or justice in this one. Gloomy without redemption.

      Narration was good.
    • 5/5
      What a story and the reader did it justice.
      Excellent all around
    • 1/5
      This narrator elocutes so slowly that I couldn't finish listening to Chapter 1. If I had continued, it'd probably still be plodding on.
