My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5/5.
It’s funny. But I also found that it was teasing my reader-ego by throwing some book trivia all the way. Very casually though, which made it more interesting.
Also, it was one of my quickest read in recent days, credit goes to the genre I suppose.
Which made me realise, one will continue to turn the pages with no pause, only if there is a promise for a new and interesting story forward.
Very basic, I know, but how many of us remember this while writing a book?

Choosing a movie to watch, before reading the book

(Public domain image) So, before I had to dive in into the mysterious moors of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, I was thinking to watch a movie adaptation of it, just to get a heads-up about the story-line.  Usually I don't do this. I am a proud member of the club called "the book was better".  But because this book was meant to be read as a textbook, not entirely for pleasure, I chose to attack the story by all means I get my hands on.  I searched for it in Prime Video, found three movies, one was made in 1939, the other two were in some later years.  I'm not sure why, I chose to watch the 1939 version. Probably because, in the back of my mind, I was expecting it to be closer to the original novel.  So I watched it, and then read the book. And found out that the movie cut off the entire volume 2 of the book!  I was really disappointed. But at the same time, it felt good to know that the book shall be better, always. :)

Hemingway in 3 panels!
