Wuthering Heights is an amazing work in the history of the British Novel. The literary skills of the author in English in awe inspiring. I wondered to read this book with the help of dramatic audiobook from Librivox.
Regarding this cliff notes, it couldn't help me much because I read several the original one. However, it gave various insights of the characters which is not available on plain reading of the novel. The notes explains well about the character of Heathcliff and the type of his love.

Okay, now this I read. A great way to read an otherwise boring book. When coupled with the movie (the oldest version you can find) you're sure to be able to participate in class discussions and the like. Oddly, a couple of months ago, I even found my copy of Cliffs while going through a box of stuff I had somehow managed to hang on to.
