Please provide a bookmark.
Must say it's an amazing piece of work. It touched the nodes of emotions. But what disappointes the most is "BOOKMARKS" . Constantly I have ordered 3 novels but I haven't received a single bookmark. Amazon, please take note of this complaint. Once again, the book is really really wonderful...So lemme make it clear, the disappointment due bookmark shouldn't be a hindrance to the fame of the book.Thank You.

The classic love story
I bought this book for a really good price.. This edition particularly is very cheap. But the font could be little small. But it is completely a readable font. The book was in good condition with no damages.Moving on to the book... It is the best book written by Emily Bronte... It is even more popular than Jane Eyre which was written by her sister. It is a love story and what I love about this book is this beautiful setting. If you have read the book already you would know what am talking about. It also have some gothic elements . And if you want to read this book then I would ask you to read in the Fall season... Because you will just have the best time of your life reading it.

Everyman hits the jackpot while other editions hit the road.
It's my first book of Everyman's Library Classics series (HC) and surely not the last.When it comes to the 'copyrightedless ' classics, the book market is flooded with various editions; common to all is the offer to sell you an ounce of gold for a penny. Some cover their treasures with leather, some with modern graphics, illustrations etc. Yet, if you don't wish to look around for the great vintage editions (19th-turn of the 2oth century) then Everyman is the best choice: solid high quality binding and paper, thematic and colorful dust jacket, not saving on ink and font size, introductions, appendices and so forth. Everyman's Library Classics series has it all while keeping it dignified and for a reasonable price.

As expected
I do not particularly care for the Brontes. I got this book as it is considered a major achievement and recommended by a psychiatrist I know. She maintained that Heathcleaf is a character that really exists and can be found even today. Anyway, I got through quite easily and I recommend the Oxford World Classics edition, because their notes etc are very helpful. It is a savage book, full of extreme passion, positive, but mostly, negative. I give it 4 stars, because I personally prefer books about more "normal" people, who have their troubles and sorrows all right anyway, and if the whole book is set in a social context, so much the better for me. However, checking up historical and litterary sources, I discovered that the environment, the people and area Emily Bronte lived in, was in fact as savage as described in that book, and possibly worse. So, it does have great merit even as a historical and cultural record and portayal.

I really wanted to like this book…
“I have to remind myself to breathe -- almost to remind my heart to beat.”⭐️⭐️⭐️Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries.I really wanted to like this book. I’ve heard so many good things. I found the first half was relatively easy to get through, the story itself flowed, but after that it just kept interweaving and going back over similar scenarios.I actually feel terrible for the “villain” in this book. His whole life he loved one, and she loved him back, but due to class could never be with him. He made it his life’s mission to break the Linton’s. But in all honestly I don’t blame him, he was heartbroken.
