Overall a compelling tale, I want to check out a few of the movie adaptations. The scenery sounds like something I need to see myself.
My Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Part of a Series or Standalone: Standalone
Genres: Fiction
Tropes: Star Crossed Lovers, Drowning their Sorrows, Let Me Tell You A Story, Destructive Revenge, Social Class Struggles, Fate is. Freewill
Things I liked: The writing was beautiful! I loved the way the surrounding nature was described, I wanted to be there.
The emotions were so intense you could really understand how deeply the characters were feeling.
Things I disliked: Very slow pacing
Most of the story is told to Mr.Lockwood from Nelly, I wish we had gotten the actual POV's of Heathcliff and Catherine.
Audiobook or Physical? I listened to the audiobook which was pretty good, I might have enjoyed it more if I read the physical version however so I will have to revisit one day possibly.
If animals are abused, die or are killed in this book: Heathcliff hangs Isabella's dog, its not described in detail but it happens.
