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!

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.

I see the hype, and I can appreciate that hype, but it's not my style.  The characters are just bad people save for like three of them. Nature versus nurture.

this book goes crazy in a way that's very difficult to convey if you haven't read it. not a romance, this begins with "what internalized racism/classism does to a mf" and evolves into "two houses full of people who hate each other in increasingly absurd ways." i enjoyed every minute (even if the characters didn't)!

Unfortunately many call "Wuthering Heights" a love story and many are attracted because of that and end up disappointed and hating the book.

The relationship between Heathcliff and Cathrine is an obsession, a passion, a math between two characters who are monstruos, but not LOVE!

Think about something like "they match each other's freak" but the freak here is there selfishness, monstrosity etc...
