Oscura e inquietante, con personajes llenos de maldad y perversión. Es lo que, para mí, mejor resume ‘Cumbres Borrascosas’. Me enfrenté a la obra maestra de Emily Brontë sin saber nada del argumento, tan solo que se trataba de una historia de amor. Y lo es. Pero no del tipo de amor que yo me esperaba. Es una historia de un amor muy intenso pero imposible, destructivo, que corrompe a sus dos protagonistas y se lleva por delante a todo aquel que se les acerque. ‘Cumbres Borrascosas’ es también la ...more

I can't not rate this book with 5 stars. Although I have some reservations having read it so many years later - I used to love Heathcliff's presence, but in the years since I've seen my fair share of moody, broody, nasty men and I don't think I could stand to be around him.

I am not sure I can review this book. It is beyond a doubt one of my favorites. Don't get me wrong, Heathcliff and Cathy are horrible. The way they interact and treat one another is horrible. This is not a love story. Cathy is selfish, petty, haughty. Heathcliff is abusive and vengeful. The pair of them are not satisfied with torturing each other, they drag everyone around them, including their children, into the bleakness they create.

DNF at 214 pages.

I don't care about Heathcliff.
I don't care about Catherine.
I don't care about whether this is a love or ghost story.

All I care about is that this story was exhaustively boring and it is responsible for my reading slump. ...more

I read this in high school and did not care for it.... now many years later I enjoyed it a lot. Heathcliffe is an interesting character, that you hate but almost understand him. to me it's a pretty twisted love story at best. ...more
