Read this for my english AP class in senior year. I decided to try to keep on schedule with our reading dates for a change and gave up at about chapter 10. I was not a big fan of the writing and hardly found any characters that I liked. Heathcliff was especially dislikable. No scratch that. I hated him. He was so abusive and I don't understand how he could be anyone's favorite character. Would not ever consider reading again or finishing for that matter.
Wuthering Heights is one of those classics that I feel like I was supposed to love more than I did, but I'm still glad I read it. The best feature of the book, for me, is Brontë's ability to change your feeling about each of the characters multiple times during the book. She can take you from liking and pitying a character and then make you wonder how you ever could have felt sorry for them, and back again. In Wuthering Heights, as in real life, there are many sides to the story, and Emily Brontë tells them all.
what’s my opinion on Wuthering Heights well buddy let me tell you I don’t think the people in there are very nice but I like what she does with her words but like the people are not cool and I don’t really get it like why are they so mean all the time
Me ha encantado. El ambiente opresivo, los personajes detestables, las maldades que se hacían... No podía parar de leerlas. Incluso se me olvidaba respirar.
Honestly this book is extremely boring and I don't see why everyone loves it
I have no idea how I felt about this book, nor even any idea of what I just read. That was insane from start to finish. I listened to this one, so I think there were some things I kind of tuned out (although to be fair this also happens when I read a physical book).
1. Bronte uses "ejaculat*" for her speaking parts A LOT. Like to the point of distraction. I get that this is probably a time period/main meaning of words being morphed over time, but still.
2. I'm *so* glad I didn't live my whole life with only two cousins to have as friends and/or romantic partners.
3. More witchcraft please. I felt like that was a real tease at the beginning with Cathy 2.0.
4. Everyone is terrible and cyclical and oh god why didn't anyone just LEAVE.
That's it. I'm glad I read it, but I don't think I'll read it again, and I'm very glad I didn't read this at a more impressionable age.

This book makes me glad I'm a hearty American who can get caught out in the rain without taking to my bed for a year and dying after a prolonged illness.

Confession: I started this book for a book report my freshman year of high school and never finished (although I turned in the book report). So when I needed to read a book published before 1850 for the Goodreads/Book Riot 2015 Challenge it seemed like fate. Overall the story was good - I really enjoyed the description of the moors and wanted to know how it ended. I detested so many of the characters though that at times it was hard to continue reading - which I think was the same problem I had at 14. And it was practically impossible to understand what the servant Joseph was saying since his dialogue was written in dialect. I'm glad I've read it but I enjoy other Bronte books much more.
