“This twisted love story completely captivated me. The love that is portrayed and described in this book between Heathcliff and Catherine is so loud, outrageous and almost embarrassing to me. But I love it. Reading this book threw me back into a wild romantic world that I hadn't thought about or entered in quite a while (granted, I was back-packing through Europe while enjoying this book... so that may contribute to the "love" mood it put me in).

“Morose and brooding are the two words that come to mind. It's well written and not boring by any means, but I was less than captivated. I'm 50% of the way through and I think I'm giving up on it.”

    “I read this story when I was like 15, until recently it was my favorite book of all time. Cecilia by Fanny Burney recently replaced it as an absolute favorite but nothing can ever take away the feelings this book ignited in a young teenage girl.

    Heathcliff was the symbol of everything I wanted my future husband to be. Still his character weighs heavy in my mind above all else when I am remembering this book.

    Amazing read for anyone who has a patience for the classics.”

    “Apparently, Heathcliff is based on Emily's brother. I was gripped by this novel the first tme I read it (I've taught it since). A friend of mine called the ending a five cigarette conclusion.”
