I have a slight headache after finishing this but we love the angst and longing
I can't rate it as it is unfair of me for such a well loved classic.
I DNF at chapter 9.
Sorry... I found myself in complete shock at my lack of enjoyment, care, or desire to continue. I truly expected to fly through these pages, I absolutely LOVE my classics, and I thought it was time to read some that passed me by over the years.
My biggest complaint, and the one I can not overcome, is that we have Nelly's biased storytelling. It is unreliable and frustrating for me as the reader. Beyond that, I'm sure it is a great story, I just have no compassion or attachment.
I hold off any further judgement. As I know, it's a me issue, and I still have the utmost respect for this classic.

This book was just to melodramatic for me. It didn't have any of the subtlety and strength of Jane Eyre or whit of Jane Austin's books. The characters were always characters and all the fits and gnashing of teeth just became tiresome after a while. It was an entertaining story for the first half, but after 200 pages with 200 left, it just felt over done. I guess we know who the more talented Bronte sister is.

How in the world was this romance?
This is the story of how an abused child became an abusive adult told by a very tired housemaid.

I didn't enjoy this book very much. I felt like it kept getting more and more depressing.
