Emily Bronte deserves much better than this cover
I love the book, it is my favourite novel of all time. However, the cover is awful.

Love Wuthering Heights - hate the repackage
'Wuthering Heights' is a wonderful classic love story and my favourite novel, so I would recommend it to anyone. However this repackage has made me cringe, you can not sell a famous classic, amazing in it's own right as another 'version' almost of a modern best-selling teen novel. Emily Bronte deserves much better.

I am a big fan of teen supernatural stories and have always loved those on vampires, but they have been around for years, I was reading novels by L.J Smith ten years ago and this sudden mass hysteria over everything vampire is getting on my nerves. There is no need to repackage a superior title like 'Wuthering Heights' to look like and be associated with a different novel, it's wonderful as it is.

Just to add to this, I am a fan of the 'Twilight' novels and thoroughly enjoyed reading them. I also understand why from a marketing perspective 'Wuthering Heights' was repackaged in this way. I just feel that jumping on the 'Twilight' bandwagon was not called for in this case and a new young, funky cover could have been designed to entice instead of associate. It seems a sad reflection of our culture that a classic novel, such as this, needs to resemble another popular novel in order to sell.

Oh dear...The one star is for the concept, not the novel...
Can we expect snazzy black, white and red covers on every novel ever written that features any tale about forbidden or difficult love?
It's an archetypal narrative, there will be quite alot. Personally I don't see any massive resemblance between Twilight and Wuthering Heights. This cover isn't going to trick Vampire-fan-girls into read classics. One look at the infinitely more complex language is going to see them off entirely.

Read something for the sake of reading it. Not because an inferior author has referenced it in a tweenage, film-friendly fad.
