I read this many years ago and I have to say that I really enjoyed it so much more this time. I loved Emily's writing, "It is strange people should be so greedy when they are alone in the world." I liked that Nelly Dean and Mr. Lockwood narrated the story. I thought Catherine was self-centered and truly an awful person. So much tragedy in their lives during that time, I can't imagine how difficult it was to live so isolated and to lose loved ones at such a young age. Excellent read!
