Helpful Score: 1

This classic novel surprised me in many ways. First, the story is told by the nurse, which made me question whether or not I could trust all she was relaying. Second, it is dense with prose, dense with description, and dense with emotion. You'll need to invest some time in reading this. Third, Heathcliff is not the man you think he is.

I found myself shaking my head at Heathcliff's actions - Initially, I loved him - I didn't think I'd ever find a man like him. I loved Catherine, too. Then, I hated him - worse than I'd ever hated a live, human being, and Catherine was the most despised woman on earth! By the end, I realized something about love I'd never thought about. Highly recommended for anyone curious about the terrible and wonderful things love does to a person.
