This drivel steals all of the worst traits of Wuthering Heights: unlikeable characters driven by sick sick motives into a well of self pity and melodrama. I can't tell you how much I disliked this book. I wish it were possible to give zero stars. Self-imprtant and self-indulgent people abuse each other and make huge moral missteps in this irritating trip to dysfunctional land.If you're looking for a wonderful book, skip this one -- and Wuthring Heights, too. Read Charlotte Bronte's fabulous Jane Eyre.
