1.0
Definitely not a love story, but perhaps an interesting revenge story. Every character in this book is deeply flawed and most are toxic. Heathcliff is over the top dramatic and very annoying.
There’s very little moral or theme to this story beyond revenge. Anyone who says that it is a great love story between Heathcliff and Catherine must be deluded or only know toxic relationships. If anything Edgar loves Catherine better and is more devoted as to give up his desires for hers.
The books seems to drag on and on, especially since the reader has already been told what is going to happen in the second half from the first few chapters of Lockwood visiting Heathcliff.
