DIfficult i can find so clever and imaginary writing..When i read it,i cant take my eyes..Something hold me and continue to reading..And that was "Emily" with magnificent feelings and fantasy see have..How talent have this woman?Really i dont know and I feel so small compared to her.."Emily" show with her book,that all humans have feelings..Something precious..All care for something even the most dangerous people..And the only thing have matter,is feelings..And that break us..So i give more attention on that and not on bad "Heathcliff" type..From the start to the end this book is amazing..Too shame because only this make before see die..This and "Jane Eyre" from her sister,can stay forever in ours hearts..The word "Thank you" is so little beyond so many things they give us..One of the few amazing things i see in my life..

When i start to reading books i search very hard for classic romance books..When i see that novel and the high ratings,i step back for the size..So i read some others books and when find the time i search this..When i ending that magnificent novel,i realize is not one classic romance book.Is something more beyond any word or any judgement..It have so many innocent emotions and when i read it,difficult i hold my tears..
That book really broke my heart and few things out there can give me so many emotions.."Charlotte Bronte" have one amazing writing and for me was perfect to read it..I hope one day to give one chance to "Villette" and one more time see that magnificent woman to writing and give emotions to me so easy..

I hear many things for that book before read it..All my friend has read it and found it simply amazing..Tell me is soft and masterpiece..When i start to read it little trouble me because dont have conversations..On the most part "George Orwell" describe the story with detail..When i continue to read it i go very deep in the story and i wasn't to go out..Read hours and hours with passion the story..The book is really masterpiece with amazing storytelling from "Orwell"..Is so prophetic,merciless,clever without happy ending..Is very serious with specific detail about anything..Is one of the most influence books all the time..How movies take something from it?How songs write about this?.Big brother tv show take the name and the plan from this book..
I suggest this book to anyone whom want to start reading literature..Soft,good written and it can relax anyone..

When i search classics books to read,this was in the most list on web.."Fitzgerald" i believe,have one special writing type and little trouble me in the begining..The book is good,short,clever and have one subversive ending..To be honest i understand some meanings and not all..So with only the story,some meanings and the writing type,i dont think i put it in my favorites books..But really enjoy to read it
