by Emily Bronte
I don't really have anything nice to say about this book. I've spent the last two weeks forcing my way through, and I just can't find anything redeeming about it, especially the characters. There isn't a single character that I even sort of like. But, it's been a week since I've reviewed a book, and I feel like I should say something.
So, here's my attempt at a 5-word review:
Selfish brats end up dead.
Has anyone read Wuthering Heights and enjoyed it? Obviously I was missing something, please feel free to enlighten me. I am at a complete loss.

I'd really like to reread this one, since it's been ages and I remember nothing about it except that the cover was green and the spine was starting to shred.
Great review! Very appropriate. I remember liking this in high school, but then rereading it as an adult and not liking it. I didn't pick up on the selfishness and evil of the characters when I was younger.
Jane Eyre (by whichever Bronte sister, I can never remember which one wrote what) is so much better because Jane is someone you can actually like and admire, and the story doesn't drag on and on.
Janssen - it's funny the details we can and can't remember. If you do re-read it I will be interested in knowing if you liked it.
Shelley - I'm so glad you agree! I was kind of nervous to review it. I really enjoyed Jane Eyre too (it's actually the reason I picked this one up).
Loved your review! I have attempted many times to read it but found it lacks the ability to suck me in.
I hope you are doing well.

P.S. Love you reviews. They have given me some good ideas for upcoming book club months and have caused my reading list to get quite a bit longer.
I was not at all fond of the characters either. Why on earth would anyone think of Heathcliff as a hero? Mystery to me!
