Wuthering Heights

I've wanted to read this one for a long time and finally dusted it off the shelf. This is a friend's most highly recommended book so I was excited to dive in.

I get it now...why some say this is one of their favorite books of all time. It's dark. Romantic to a mildly psychotic degree (as only dramatic flair for those times could be captured) and beautifully written.

Some parts were a tad hard to decipher as the hired hand's dialogue was written in accent form. It certainly was interesting to read in this manner and imagine how it was back in that time frame.

Aside from the speech hardship, the story itself is engaging once you catch the flow of the writing. This is definitely a book I needed absolute quiet to read but once I was uninterrupted the story flew and I was lost in Heathcliff's plight.
