What Members Thought
My high school French teacher once said that Catherine and Heathcliff are the only true lovers in English literature. We said what about Romeo and Juliet. She said they were just silly teenagers. Ever since falling in love with this story in 1981 I've been trying to prove my French teacher wrong. So far, she's still right.

This book is great until Heathcliff's son Linton enters the picture - then Linton and every scene involving him become annoying. Once Linton is out of the picture the story becomes... not dull... but it feel like there was less thought put into the latter part of the story, the scenes are less interesting, the characters not as vivid. The last chapter is great and ties up the loose ends of the story very nicely.

Every time I read this book I get the overwhelming urge to put on black sweats and drink tea and feel very vexed when there isn't some sort of gale force storm going on outside.

Bah! Can't stand Heathcliff with all his moping around the moors, and Catherine with all her histrionics. Get over it already.

Read it once because I had too. I hate Catherine, Heathcliff and the whole family. Bah.
