I DIDN'T like the first part of the book, mainly because of the characters, not how they were written, (because they're ok), just because of their awful personalities.
I hated them, except Linton and Ellen (whom I don't entirely like), and Catherine and Hareton.
The book nailed it, I felt bad for Heathcliff at the beginning but hated him when he starts his revenge on innocent people.
For me, the first part of the book was a little hard and heavy to read (because characters as I said before). I knew that would happen since I started reading it. I started liking it in the middle when the new characters appear.
The other thing I didn't entirely like was the way the story was narrated, for me Lockwood is a little unnecessary, but well... it doesn't really bother me. I think it would be more interesting to know the background story from Catherine's diaries. And intercalate Ellen's narration with the diaries.
Having said that, yes it is... not a bad story.

I found Wuthering Heights to be incredibly difficult and unpleasant to read. Emily Brontë definitely succeeded in creating horrible unlikable characters. I was also deeply sickened by the violence and some of the descriptions of cruelty, especially against animals.
