This wonderful Gothic classic has put me in a reading slump. Couldn't get invested into the characters nor the story... I wish I read it when I was in highschool, maybe I would have enjoyed it then.

I don't know!! I wanted to love it!! I somehow had it in my mind that it would be a romance and was not prepared for it. Will have to reread his one someday I think.

I thought the beginning was slow, the middle was exciting, and the end was terrible. I disliked most if not all of the characters. This book was not for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am so glad that as an adult, I am taking the time to read through the classics.
What I loved about this book is that despite the ups and downs, I didnt hate a single character (except for Linton) but rather accepted characters such as Heathcliff, Hindley and others, for what they were, multifaceted human beings who created their own fate as consequence of their actions. I love when an author creates such depth within their story or characters that they cannot make me hate anyone. I take that as a sign of true masterful character development.
As for the style and tone, I was pleasantly surprised by how honest and straightforward everything was. No one was taking great pains to act like a lady or gentleman and that meant we could get the the quick of thingsuch faster.
A favourite character of mine was Nelly who had strong convictions and didn't care who, master or servant, knew them.
Was a pleasure to read this and I was thoroughly engaged and entertained the whole way through
