Should I read Charlotte Bronte's Wuthering Heights, or Jack McEwan's Atonement?

Question

I have to pick between these novels for my AP English class, so of the two, which do you think I should read?

Answer 1

Wuthering Heights............................. i've never read wuthering heights,it was mentioned in twilight by stephenie meyer,maybe you should read that book................it is sooooooooooooooo freakin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 2

I completely agree with LeNore.  "Wuthering Heights" is one of my favorite classics.

If you decide to read it, the first fifty pages or so is pretty boring.  But if you can hold out until they get to the story of Cathy and Heathcliff....  Amazing.

It's a really spiteful story though.  The love isn't selfless and pure, but the complete opposite, which makes it so different and interesting.  And Heathcliff is one of the darkest characters I've ever encountered.

Answer 3

Well, I hated Wuthering Heights, but don't let that cloud your judgement. Everyone has different opinions.

Atonement is by Ian McEwan, but it's had some good reviews, so you could read that one.

Answer 4

I haven't read Atonement but Wuthering Heights is magnificent. Its simple to read but the family is complicated as are the relationships and its interesting to watch the main characters grow up, die and have their own children keep living out the story. Its amazing.
