I heard they’re making a new one with Margot Robbie but I don’t have high hopes for it. The source material is so amazing, why can’t anyone get the movie adaptation right??
Wuthering Heights (1939) is actually better for creepy, if you want my opinion. Yet the topics are so tough in the book neither movie really covers all the books deeper evil sides. The 1943 "Jane Eyre" is the best movie version of this story. Charlotte Brontë is my 7th favorite author and my favorite female author. She is only woman to write a book in my top ten books of all time. 7) "Vilette" by Charlotte Brontë 68) "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë 139) "The Professor” by Charlotte Brontë 163) "Shirley" by Charlotte Brontë 20) "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" by Anne Brontë 97) "Agnes Grey" by Anne Brontë 173) "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë That Wuthering Heights made my top 200 books means it is amazing. I have read 52 books already this year and I am 50 years old and I always was reading a lot. FAVORITE AUTHORS must have two books in the top 100 books of all time. 1) Leo Tolstoy (Resurrection) 2) Ivan Turgenev (Fathers and Sons) 3) James A. Michener (Chesapeake) 4) Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich) 5) Fyodor Dostoevsky (The Idiot) 6) C. S. Lewis (The Magician's Nephew) 7) Charlotte Brontë (Vilette) 8) J. R. R. Tolkien (The Hobbit) 9) Isaac Asimov (Foundation and Empire) 10) Jane Austen (Pride and Prejudice) 11) Mark Twain (The Adventures of Tom Sawyer) 12 Anne Brontë (The Tenant of Wildfell Hall) 13) George Eliot (Silas Marner) 14) Anthony Trollope (He Knew He Was Right) 15) Dr. Burrhus Frederic (B. F.) Skinner (Verbal Behavior) 16) Charles Dickens (Hard Times) 17) Thomas Hardy (Jude the Obscure)
I’ll have to watch the 1939 one! I’m currently reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, I’m about halfway through. My husband is a big Dostoevsky fan and has recommended his books to me, so I’m looking forward to reading those sometime in the future. Austen, Tolstoy, Dickens, and Hardy are some of my favorites too.
@@mayareviewsbooks1313, FAVORITE AUTHORS has changed already this month as Leo Tolstoy is now at the top of the list due to his first three books which I read this month. So all the numbers ought to be more above 15 by one or two or maybe even three added to them. Hardy is good for "Jude the Obscure" and "A Pair of Blue Eyes" and Dickens is good for "Hard Times" and "A Christmas Carol" and Austen is good for "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma" and "Sense and Sensibility" and "Persuasion." "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" is in the top 20 books I've ever read. That can't be said for any book by Jane Austen. 1st) Leo Tolstoy (Resurrection) 2) "Resurrection" by Leo Tolstoy 8) "War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy 15) "Childhood, Boyhood" by Leo Tolstoy 56) "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy 83) "A Confession" by Leo Tolstoy 2nd) Ivan Turgenev (Fathers and Sons) seven more books in the top 200 not shown here 4) "Fathers and Sons" by Ivan Turgenev 10) "Smoke" by Ivan Turgenev 20) "Virgin Soil" by Ivan Turgenev 35) "Torrents of Spring" by Ivan Turgenev 58) "First Love" by Ivan Turgenev 3rd) James A.

Your excitement for this book really shows in this review. You've made me bump Wuthering Heights to the top of my reading list!
Yeah somebody really needs to make another movie about this and make it more spooky
I heard they’re making a new one with Margot Robbie but I don’t have high hopes for it. The source material is so amazing, why can’t anyone get the movie adaptation right??
what book series would you like to see as a major television series? (that hasn't already been done or announced)
The Lunar Chronicles or the Books of Bayern
Excellent review .
Thank you!
