WAAAAAR IIIIS OOOOVEEEER

HE ODIADO ESTE LIBRO (también influye que fuera lectura obligatoria)

Personajes súper odiosos ToT, además odiaba que todos tuvieran o nombres súper parecidos, o el mismo nombre; además a veces los llamaban por el apellido o por el nombre así que fue super confuso.

Tiene una trama a la que no le encuentro sentido, pero si tuviera que resumirla en temas sería: la vida de los desgraciados que viven en Cumbres borrascosas, la relación de Heathcliff y Catherine, la venganza de Heathcliff, la vida de Cathy (hija) y la vida/narración de Nelly Dean(?).

No se logra simpatizar con nadie, cuando por fin se logra un poco a la página siguiente ya han hecho algo que haces que te cuestiones qué haces leyendo ese libro.

Una de las pocas cosas que me han gustado ha sido como “describen” (mas bien cuentan) las muertes, porque era tipo: y se murió. ¿Cómo? ¿Por qué? (Esto si se deducía a veces) ¿Cuándo? Pues ni idea, que el lector se lo invente o déjalo pasar, yo lo dejaba pasar.

Y además toda la trama transcurre en cómo tres lugares???? Cumbres borrascosas, la granja de los tordos, los páramos (MUY de vez en cuando) y el camino que hay entre cumbres y la granja lmao.

Cómo no se morían del aburrimiento? Cómo ganaban dinero? Qué hizo Heathcliff cuando se fue por tanto tiempo? Cómo habían llegado los sirvientes a trabajar en aquellos horripilantes lugares? Preguntas sin respuesta supongo.

Entiendo que el libro sea importante, al igual que la autora, sus hermanas y que haya tenido una gran repercusión, pero no lo he disfrutado para nada.

I'm sure when given the proper time and care to review this book and its themes it would be quite the literary work but sadly I didn't find myself enjoying it. The character's are constantly threatening murder or suicide and while that's exciting I never felt like there was much follow through on those threats to make the book exciting. The long time period the story takes place over is also draining to the reader, and I feel like if it had focused more on Catherine haunting the narrative and had more scenes like Mr. Lockwood's nightmare of her at the very beginning it would've been very haunting and truly entertaining. If you're going to read this I also don't recommend the audiobook, a little to easy to get lost in what they're trying to say and unless you are great at understanding Scottish accents or can speak Scots you are going to miss out on whatever the Scottish character is saying. I don't even know who he was because every time that accent was put on my brain stuttered trying to parse it out. Scots is truly a different language and anyone who says it's a dialect is wrong. Spanish and Italian speakers can understand each other better than a Scots and English speaker can.
