Day 2: Least Favorite Book

Now, this one was hard to decide. I rarely read books and hate them. But if I had to pick one, it would be:

"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte.

Many people, generally those who have never read the book, consider Wuthering Heights to be a straightforward, if intense, love story — Romeo and Juliet on the Yorkshire Moors. But this is a mistake. Really the story is one of revenge. It follows the life of Heathcliff, a mysterious gypsy-like person, from childhood (about seven years old) to his death in his late thirties. Heathcliff rises in his adopted family and then is reduced to the status of a servant, running away when the young woman he loves decides to marry another. He returns later, rich and educated and sets about gaining his revenge on the two families that he believed ruined his life.


     I could barely get though this book. And the only reason I was able to was because it was required for Honors English in the 11th grade. I just could not get into this book at all!
