Everyone in this is insufferable, and no matter how old the book is that doesn't mean it is good

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.
