Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Ok so I have a complicated relationship with this book. Basically I wasn't a huge fan. 

This is a Gothic Romance novel that takes place in the moors that follows a sort of star-crossed romance between Catherine and Heathcliffe. 

I really liked the writing of this. It was really descriptive and gorgeous. Definitely one of my favorite parts of the book. 

I also loved the setting. Misty, foggy, chilly moors? Please and thank you. I love Gothic novels for so many reason, but the setting is almost always one of my favorite things. 

The plot was fine. Nothing spectacular. And it had some elements I really didn't like. 

Finally, the characters. I didn't like most of them a lot of the time. Some were interesting at times, but overall I wasn't a huge fan of them. 

Overall, I'm glad I finally read this, but it wasn't my favorite.
