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 passions, turbulent 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!
