:) but here are the overall points I thought about the book if you're not up for that ?

I first read this book in college and detested it. I don't know whether it was because I genuinely did not like the book or whether it was because it was being used in academic circumstances. So this year, I decided to re-read the book and settle once and for all whether I like the book.

Overall consensus? It was alright. I certainly enjoyed reading it more the second time around than I did when I first read it. But was it amazing? Was it great? In all honesty, not really.

I enjoyed the writing style and the way Bronte describes things. I like how the story is told, through the eye witness accounts of Nelly Dean to Mr. Lockwood when he comes to visit the Grange. It adds to the question-ability of truth and how stories are told.

But the story itself did not pull me in the way it has done for many other people. The 'love' between Heathcliff and Catherine is nothing less than toxic to me. No matter how much I wanted to invest in it, I just couldn't. Not only that, but all the characters are horrible. They are malicious and selfish humans and although I appreciate the accurate depiction of the human condition, it is hard to like any of the characters when you have no compassion for them and cannot relate to them in any way.
