3,7* of 5*

Things I found interesting:
- Intriguing and complex family drama like more than your average soap opera.
- Reading about someone telling someone else about something (confusing eh)

What I thought was eh:
- Dragging plot - coming from fantasy, I'm used to 500+ page world building but this was boring,mundane and "bleak" info?
- Heathcliff, annoying toward the end
- Confusing perspectives the beginning (used sparknotes after each chapter until 15)

Overall I think that this classic deserves some praise. While I wasn't really hooked until like 150 pages which is like basically more than half of the book. This is definitely not a plot driven novel and very much oriented around many characters' lifespan.
Lastly, the language is a bit older and thus I had to look up a lot of words.
