Unfortunately I didn’t care as much for the original generation as I did for their children and their effects on these children, and as I also didn’t care about Lockwood and it took a while for Nelly to grow on me, I didn’t really start to enjoy this until later on (although I did appreciate the narrative structure). Slow start but happy to have read it!

Hooooooooo this book 
The dramatic nature of the children, the plot twist at 80% + in that finally made it intriguing to read on. The underwhelming ending. It was something. I didn’t like how it was told as a story of a story like Mrs Dean talking to Mr Lockwood. As it got to present day it was hard to tell who’s POV it was from, I just assumed Mrs Dean for most of it, but then Mr Lockwood when Mrs Dean was mentioned. A ton of words to look up, generally not too hard to read. Life was not exciting back then, and a lot of abuse overall. Heathcliff was such a screwy character with an unpredictable personality and like zero character growth descending into madness. Happy to say I’ve read a classic, but it will probably be my last if I’m reading for enjoyment lol. Excited to hear everyone’s thoughts!

This book got me back into reading. I love it. Every character has flaws, but they all have their reasons, (most of those reasons being Heathcliff related). Has an abrupt but satisfying ending. A little slow around the middle but generally has crazy stuff happening in every chapter.
