Es un clásico del que había oído hablar mucho pero nunca me atrevía a leerlo porque creía que no lo iba a disfrutar, pero me ha encantado, es un libro maravilloso.
Es increíble como Emily Brontë ha plasmado lo oscura y retorcida que puede ser la naturaleza humana con unos personajes egoístas, manipuladores, violentos y crueles. Y tan reales que se salen de las páginas del libro.
Es alucinante como la atmósfera que ha creado te envuelve por completo, y como la autora ha jugado con el paisaje y la ambientación para diferenciar dos lugares tan distintos tanto física como emocionalmente.
Como os digo, es un clásico que me ha fascinado y que recomiendo muchísimo.

This was a hard-read for me as I am not a native English speaker. However I found it enjoyable. I liked some quotes and Catherine and Heathcliff's strange relationship made me think about a lot of things. "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same" is the most famous quote and taken out of context is romantic, but reading the book I had second thoughts. Overall, for me this book was mostly vibes.

I've dreamt in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!! Loved everything about it!
A really good example of a classical book that is just a literary soap opera. Good for if you like very dramatic emotional-driven novels with mostly gray characters. I liked parts of it. However it was REALLY drawn out. The writing style itself was fine, but with how drawn out the second half was it was really hard to finish and get through. The resolution felt kind of rushed because of how off-screen it was. Wished we got to see more of it. This doesn't really work well as a novel comprised of flashbacks. That said, it wasn't horrible. Just somewhere in the middle. I'm surprised of how ambivalent I am towards it since I see most people have such strong opinions on it one way or the other.
Go listen to the Kate Bush song this instance and watch the music video at the same time.

Can't remember how many times I've read this book, I fell in love with it as a teenager and I imagine I'll still be reading it when I'm old. It is timeless, as rocks, as hatred, as passion, as Heathcliff and Chathy's love.

Although generally targeted as the tragic romance between Catherine and Heathcliff, it is just as much a psychological study on out unreliable narrator Ellen Dean which I could not loathe more. Hardly saying anything revolutionary here but there really is a reason this book is a classic. This is a novel that would translate quite well onto the screen I think so I definitely want to look into existing adaptations but given the tack record of Jane Eyre adaptation I don't have very high hopes.
My life will always be defined as before and after I read that line of Heathcliff telling Catherine he can forgive his own murderer but her could never forgive hers. It makes me tear up just to think of it.
