This is my 3rd attempt at this book, and now I was able to finish it an I absolutely love it.
At my first attempt (audiobook), I just stopped listening almost halfway, without any specific reason, just life taking over my time differently.
At my second attempt (book), I couldn’t really get into the drama, plus reading while waiting for 8 hours in an airport terminal isn’t really the most inspiring envoronment for reading.
Now on my 3rd attempt (audiobook), I fell in love. Although the English is not easy for me as my mother tongue is not English (and I have no idea what Joseph says), I loved the passion between Catherine and Heathcliff, the effect that and all the family dynamics have on every character and generations, the atmosphere and even more I don’t know how to express. What also helped me in my appreciation, is to read annotations alongside, to better grasp and appreciate the complexity and craftmanship of the novel.
I will definitely reread this in book format.

I’m so sorry for the people who love this book but it read like a book-tok mafa romance (especially the main love interest). Had to DNF after two chapters, because the beginning of chapter 2 is concerning at best. Overall: Perfect if you want a good hate read.

Todos los personajes son desagradables con excepción de Nelly y un poco Lockwood. Todo el drama se habría ahorrado si Catherine Earnshaw se hubiera casado con Heathcliff, aunque seguro que esos dos habrían terminado haciéndose aun más daño el uno al otro, la toxicidad que se cargaban es increíble.
Y a pesar de eso es muy bueno el libro, es como cuando escuchas un chisme súper bizarro y casi irreal, te horrorizas por muchas cosas pero no puedes dejar de escuchar (o, en este caso, leer).

Ok I’ll give it 3.5 stars. I think I had higher expectations for it since it’s a classic but I just felt like it was a little slow, especially in the beginning. Also, definitely not a romance novel so don’t know why people say it is.
