Heathcliff makes Rochester look like a saint

As a lover of 19th century English literature, I have struggled in vain to appreciate this story. I am sorry to say that my efforts and many hours of sacrifice were all for naught. My second read-through was as terrible as the first (which was more than 15 years ago!).

I have given it 2 stars because I liked the voices in this audio version, but I absolutely and definitively hate this story.

It has no likeable characters (I even hated the narrators for their conduct) and no redeemable qualities whatsoever! I shall henceforth endeavor to strike its monotonous and depressing plot from my memory.

Gives Parasite to me more than the toxic love, hopeless crush situation many people tend to characterize it as.

I love this book! 

Read this in high school and this time I listened to the audiobook. It’s still wonderfully sad and enchanting at the same time. A true heart wrenching love story.
