Even though I don't really like the book I do appreciate it for a few things. I really like her writing style. She was a good writer and I wish she had written more. I don't remember exactly but I think except for the novel she only wrote a few poems/short stories with her sisters.

I also liked the feeling I got from the novel. I liked how she described the landscape, the old houses etc. The whole book was kind of gray and rainy (does that make sense?) and I liked that for some reason.

The thing is, I didn't like any of the characters. Young Cathy was kind of okay but also quite boring. I agree that the connection Heathcliff and Cathy had (old Cathy) was very powerful and I do appreciate the window scene as well, it was very emotional.

Thanks for reminding me, I always wanted to read more about the life of Emily and her sisters. I didn't know she was a spinster. I bet they've made some movies about them. That reminds me, I've wanted to read Charlotte's 'Shirley' for years. She made the name popular for girls :)
