This classic novel surprised me in many ways. First, the story is told by the nurse, which made me question whether or not I could trust all she was relaying. Second, it is dense with prose, dense with description, and dense with emotion. You'll need to invest some time in reading this. Third, Heathcliff is not the man you think he is.
I found myself shaking my head at Heathcliff's actions - Initially, I loved him - I didn't think I'd ever find a man like him. I loved Catherine, too. Then, I hated him - worse than I'd ever hated a live, human being, and Catherine was the most despised woman on earth! By the end, I realized something about love I'd never thought about. Highly recommended for anyone curious about the terrible and wonderful things love does to a person.

Although "Wuthering Heights" is written in very old English and is not easy to read, it is a worth the effort. It is a well written, dark, twisted moving story of obsession, greed and lust that spans beyond the grave.

This book has so much hype, so I expected it to be amazing. Boy was I let down! I didn't really care for this book at all. And people say that Heathcliff and Catherine's love was so epic, but he was a horrible person who did nothing but torment others. I don't know, maybe I just didn't get it, but I was not impressed in the slightest.
Its a classic what else can I say
