Mixed feelings. Hard to get into. Sometimes I struggled to get through more than a chapter, other times I couldn’t put it down.

I assumed this novel was a romance, but it was a tale of class, obsession, and revenge. While I can appreciate this classic, I didn't enjoy it.

noel_rene_cisneros's review against another edition
Brontë construye esta historia como una serie de matrioskas cada una cuenta una historia dentro de la cual se cuenta otra historia —que, generalmente, profundiza en el relato de la novela misma—. Lockwood es un hombre que renta la granja de los Tordos al dueño de Cumbres borrascosas, al iniciar la novela acude a Cumbres borrascosas a presentarse con su arrendador, Heathcliff, ahí conoce a la nuera de éste, Cathy, una joven que se muestra hosca. Lockwood tiene que quedarse por el mal clima y, mientras duerme, ve el fantasma de Catherine Earnshaw —de quien lee una serie de cartas y un diario—. Brontë hace propio para su novela las narraciones más diversas y así construye al vengativo Heathcliff y a Catherine de quien estuvo enamorado —que se casó con Edgar Linton, el antiguo dueño de la granja de los Tordos—, como una noticia que vamos conociendo a partir de pedazos de información, de dimes y diretes, Brontë construye su historia, la historia de amores que no se consuman, de amores que se malean y de jóvenes obligados a padecer la tiranía.

Too dark and depressing and 19th century English for my tastes.

My favorite classic lit book. I have no idea what made me pick it up but I enjoyed every page. Maybe it's because I relate to stubborn characters.

Un clásico muy particular, con alto contenido sensible por como se muestra el bien y el mal en contraste. Fue algo desconcertante leerlo pero así es el corazón humano dominado por las pasiones sin brida y jinete. El final quizás un poco rápido y repentino pero que a mí me deja conforme.
