Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights by: Emily Brontë

A book review by:Emma Caldas

Wuthering Heights is known to be a classic due to its originality, beautiful but tragic story and because 164 year after it was published people still read it.
Wuthering Heights is the only novel by Emily Brontë.

Wuthering heights is a briliant book that I recommend everyone to read, the book is a devastating romantic novel about a boy and girl who grow up together in a place called Wuthering Heights. They fall completely and unconditionally in love with one another, but something goes wrong and they grow apart. The girl, whose called Cathy, starts to find Heathcliff (the boy) unsuitable to marry due to his rank and rage, after hearing that she is engaged Heathcliff runs away.
Though Cathy goes on to marry and man called Edgar Linton she finds that she still loves Heathcliff. when Heathcliff returns, as a gentleman and as a rich man, Cathy is overjoyed and as days go by she starts to remember the days with Heathcliff and how much she missed him. Towards the end of the story a series of tragic events occur leaving me crying at the end of the story.

My favourite quotation from the book is “may you not rest, as long as I am living, you said I killed you- haunt me, then” this shows a lighter side to Heathcliff that you never see though out the rest of the book.

I would rate this book as ***** (5 stars)

I think that everyone should read this book even if it’s not the type of genre that you like, the book is a credit to English literature and an amazing book that was excellently written, every word was given the highest thought, I am in love with the book and ever since I read it, it have been my favourite book there is no comparison between any other book in my opinion.

Noughts and Crosses Review

Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman

A review by Emma Caldas

The book Noughts and Crosses is a story about love and racial injustice, "This must be the most original book I've ever read. It's intelligent, emotional and imaginatively wicked. Noughts & Crosses is so well crafted that I insist on calling it a work of art"-Benjamin Zephaniah,(poet).

Although the book does have some strong language, I personally think that its use makes the novel more powerful and realistic.

Noughts and Crosses is just the first book out of a trilogy of four.

I am currently reading the third book checkmate (which I’m finding mesmerisingly brilliant), but to get the meaning of checkmate you have to read noughts and crosses for nought and crosses is the introduction which explains how this world started and how people are affected by its rules and expectations.

What is a nought and a cross?

A cross is the dominant citizen, if your born lucky enough to be a cross in this world, you will have more opportunities and privileges. A nought is a second class citizen in a world run by the ruling crosses.

There are two main characters in the book, Persephone Hadley who’s a cross and Callum McGregor who’s a nought.

They’ve know each other since they were born but something goes wrong and there forced to see each other in secret. As they get older they find that they love each other, but then everything that could go bad goes even worse. Can they find a way to be together?

I recommend that everyone reads this book; I think it would give everyone a better understanding of how our acts are define who we are and how they actually make a change.

I would give this book a ***** (five stars)
