I personally did not enjoy this book. It came highly recommended at the time and I see a lot of people love it, but it was just too confusing for me. If I didn’t watch the movie, I would have had a very different idea of the story.

For me it just jumped around too much and I couldn’t follow who was narrating at any given moment. It also did nothing to stimulate me emotionally or philosophically. I thought about putting it down several times, but I try to always finish what I start.

For those of you who love this book, what do you love about it?

    When I read it, I thought Heathcliff was extremely unlikeable, & not remotely “romantic”.

    Most of the characters are paper-thin.

    I am probably not in the intended readership.

      It’s Gothic horror and it’s not supposed to be romantic haha Heathcliff was definitely intended to be an awful person
