Wuthering Heights

I have just finished reading that literary classic, Wuthering Heights, for the first time.  I always felt that my education was lacking, not having read it, so I downloaded it onto my tablet to read on vacation.  The jacket speaks to consuming passionsturbulent and tempestuous love story, and masterpiece of imaginative fiction.  What a load of hooey!  It's a terrible book, full of unlikeable characters, spoiled brats and domestic violence.  There's no love in this story.  There's obsession, manipulation, deceit, but nothing that I would recognize as love.  Cathy and Heathcliff deserved each other; too bad they ruined two families instead.  Thank heavens Emily Bronte didn't write another book.  Phooey!
