Wuthering Heights

Have been reading all the free books...all old classics. Emily's style very different from Charlette Bronte. This is definely not a "feel good" story. I think my versipn must be missing some pages at the end because the ending made no sense to me. Very disapointed I enjoyed Jane Erye much better...on to the next book!

It wasn't what I was expecting at all. I was expecting a sweep you off your feet romance and what it was was something totally different. I found it rather dark and at times depressing. More of a story of how jealousy and greed can make people ruthless and manipulative. That being said, I did enjoy some parts of the book to the point of not wanting to put it down or reading longer than anticipated. I finished it two weeks earlier than I planned on.

The book is written in an interesting way, almost all of it is told through an exhausting recount of one side character. The main love story though, is so shallow and childish. I don't understand how other reviewers can say it's deep and root for Heathcliff. That's all you can expect from wealthy families so isolated they have to pretend to fall in love with each other and stubbornly continue drama and feuds just to pass the time.
