As a young adult, I was pretty absorbed by how Heathcliff's obsessive love for Cathy causes him to do dreadful and terrible things. I was also swept away by the gothic elements. I also have a friend who does absolutely hilarious impressions of Joseph. But anyways, I understand why you didn't like the book!Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778518749902115166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-26772651726092297832014-11-23T15:58:47.333+01:002014-11-23T15:58:47.333+01:00Danya, no I haven't read Jane Eyre yet.

They seemed to care far more for revenge than love, so yeah, I agree with the above comments: no idea why it's considered "romantic". <br /><br />Have you read Jane Eyre, though? Would totally recommend that Bronte book, it's one of my favourite classics :)danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-30709925743260522122014-11-22T17:22:08.120+01:002014-11-22T17:22:08.120+01:00Exactly Susan!

And it was weird that the book kept going even after the "romance" (and I use that term loosely) part was over.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050447428759378366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-92124158798871504012014-11-22T16:26:28.834+01:002014-11-22T16:26:28.834+01:00I had the same reaction.

I thought that what was supposed to be love was some sort of sick obsession and all the characters were horrible people.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567954521782974033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-83032067416815355252014-11-21T09:04:20.489+01:002014-11-21T09:04:20.489+01:00Joyous Reads, I am so glad I am not the only one!!...Joyous Reads, I am so glad I am not the only one!! So many people love this book. Let me know if you like it better the second time around. I was contemplating reading it again, but I just don't think I could bring myself to do it.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16050447428759378366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2719681682618841725.post-70227635925108110802014-11-21T03:50:10.562+01:002014-11-21T03:50:10.562+01:00Ugh.

That...sounds so mean. Sorry! I just. I'm thinking about re-reading this for my Thursday reviews. Hopefully, I'll have a better perspective.
