GAH! Pretty much disliked this one, manic depression and child abuse rolled into a package that seriously had my teeth on edge. I prefer Daphne du Maurier for the same kind of atmosphere and would much rather lose myself in a Jane Austen for a period piece.
Not my favourite classic out there. I despise Heathcliff. A man should never have that much power over a woman and Cathy is too weak to let him go. Also Emily's witting style is not the style I prefer to read. I can't help to compare it to Charlotte's and I like her writing style much more.But the s...
"Let's see if I'll still like it as much as I used to... Somehow I doubt it."And with that, I started reading Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights again after a gap of over thirty years.First reaction on finishing for the second time: "Thanks God that's over!"But this reaction wasn't because I now hate...

I read this novel as a teenager and again in my twenties and on both occasions I disliked it intensely. Along with Tess of the d'Urbervilles’s biography of the Brontë family, which I’ve had sitting around for a couple of years. Its 1000 pages remain daunting, but I’ll get to it eventually. I’ve on...
Firstly, this is not a love story. I'd heard that it was. If you think this is a love story then I think you have a fucked up perception of romance - 50 shades style. However, love story aside, I just didn't enjoy the book. I want to rate it 5 stars, because it's a classic and the ideas and writing ...
Surely I read a different book than the rest of the world? I can't even bring myself to give this two stars, although I don't hate her writing. I just will never understand how this story is worshiped and romanticized by so many. I understand:evil begets evil. This was just insane, though. This is K...
Not often do I decide to edit the review - and change the opinion of the book I initially detested - mere days after writing a 'why I hated it' opus. Emily Bronte, you mastermind! In addition to learning truly horrifying things through the comments from my fellow lovely Goodreaders (people have to...
