I'm glad I finally read this book (part of a buddy read). Unfortunately it wasn't a favourite. There's not a lot of happiness in this book, and the characters weren't likeable to me. Up to the next classic.
Update: I changed the rating from 2 to 4. Over time this book keeps coming back to me. I think about it at times. Its sticks. I need to read it again sometime to maybe get more out of it.

I've been wanting to read this for some time and I really liked it. I found the style of the story interesting, the way in which it was told.

To this day, Wuthering Heights is the only book I've never been able to make it through. Nor could I make it through the movie. I had to rely on Spark Notes to get me through it, and while it remains one of my grandpa's favorite books ever, I will never understand the brooding Heathcliff, the dark moors, or anything else that the Bronte's have to say. Ugh.

Oh my gosh!
I really don't feel like writing a review, but I loved this book! The story of Heathcliff and Catherine makes my sad heart sing!
However, I started to reach a point where I got so bored with the action of reading. It wasn't that the story sucked, but that I wasn't in the mood.

First of all, I don't feel myself qualified to write an extensive review about this book.
The story, for me, was an interesting depiction of dysfunctional family relations, abuse, regret, revenge and wretched and cruel characters. But also about forgiveness and thinking about how to break that cycle.
The isolation of the two families was also a very important theme I think; because why do these people feel like they can only get married with their family members?
I think the names and narration style made it a bit too confusing for its own good, but I had no trouble understanding it once I really got into it.
Now watch me struggle with getting Kate Bush's song out of my head for the rest of the week...
"Out on the wily, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you, too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights..."
