This sounds really good, though! I love modern retellings seem to make stories seem more real. Reading the original can be great but sometimes you don't get everything and it seems fuzzy and then someone brings it into a modern setting and you can kind of "see" it better and the themes seem more relevant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299510589029459245.post-63819745633813248972013-06-21T03:27:00.774+02:002013-06-21T03:27:00.774+02:00I've been intrigued by this one, and am glad y...I've been intrigued by this one, and am glad you liked it! I think the thing I really like about modern retellings is that, if done properly, they help relate old times issues to modern-day ones. If I don't "get" a book because I can't relate to it or see myself in that time, but then I read a modern spin... all of a sudden, I connect with the story. And THEN I read the original, and it makes so much more sense! Great review! <br /><br />- JanaJanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772938036847330151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299510589029459245.post-6225010895943569202013-06-20T22:05:24.145+02:002013-06-20T22:05:24.145+02:00I've honestly never liked Wuthering Heights ei...I've honestly never liked Wuthering Heights either, though I never finished it so I can't say my feelings are very fair. Still, it never quite appealed to me! I'm glad you ended up liking this retelling though :)Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1299510589029459245.post-904967073912905972013-06-20T21:13:22.987+02:002013-06-20T21:13:22.987+02:00I'm glad you liked it, I've been debating ...I'm glad you liked it, I've been debating on and off if I should get it or not. <br />I REALLY loved Jane, Ms Linder's previous retelling of Jane Eyre, she does a great job of modernizing the stories and make them still make sense. <br /><br />But well, like you, I never got what was so great about Cathy, she does some very questionable things. And I never really understood Heathcliff either, until I read Wuthering High where Cara Lockwood presents a teenage version of him that made sense (he was possessive because he had so little in life, and he was devoted) plus, it was all before he went all crazy at the end. <br /><br /><br />Anyway, sorry for the rambling. I think you have convinced me to give this one a try :D Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
