I did not love it nor did I enjoy my reading experience with this, but I cannot say that it is a bad book. I despised most of the characters (which I guess we're supposed to). At times it felt confusing

(I still don't understand why most of them died

and I had to use a family tree to keep track of the relationships between the characters. On the good side it is very well written and atmospheric. It was probably a good book, just not for me.

This book really was… something. Compared to Agnes Grey, this was like going from learning how to swim to diving in the middle of the ocean. This is of course a different type of book so it isn’t really a shock. I was shocked though when finding out that

the POV of this book were a Mr Lockwood and Ellen Dean, and not at the very least Catherine Linton nee Earnshaw.

It was a really interesting read and I might have rated it higher if not for

the excessive amount of incest and the constant racism and stereotyping of Romani people.

Also to the people who consider this a romance, I hear you and I somehow get you but please don’t go looking for this.

This book helps you dive into the complexity of Bipolar disorder (Catherine) as well as narcissistic personality disorder (Heathcliff). If dark psychological storylines interest you, this classic is a must-read for you. :)
