I'm not entirely convinced he and Marianne were a perfect match, but then she irritated me throughout most of the book...hopefully she matured a little before she married him!<br /><br />Also, yeah, somehow characters from WH always end up on these sorts of lists of mine ;D<br /> danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-419631252265823612013-01-30T10:22:29.990-08:002013-01-30T10:22:29.990-08:00LOL.

I hope so, because I was not a big fan of the book! *crosses fingers* <br /><br />Yeah, if you'd like to read a book by one of the Bronte sisters I would definitely recommend Jane Eyre over Wuthering Heights. The protagonist is much more likeable! :)danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-18592119570702628432013-01-29T18:27:37.123-08:002013-01-29T18:27:37.123-08:00Oh yeah, I am totally with you about Lena.

I'm sure she's meant as a foil for Elinor (in personality and maturity) but all her self-centered dramatics got kind of annoying!danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-10750869324330336942013-01-29T16:40:50.299-08:002013-01-29T16:40:50.299-08:00I know – I'm sure there's a bunch of chara...I know – I'm sure there's a bunch of characters I'm missing!danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-48820985275809682022013-01-29T16:40:03.538-08:002013-01-29T16:40:03.538-08:00LOL, I think Lena bugged me the most but there wer...LOL, I think Lena bugged me the most but there were certain things about Ethan I disliked as well. Characters aside, there were other issues I had with the book, but I think this might turn out to be an instance where I actually prefer the film to the book...I'm hoping some of the problems I had with the book will actually not be an issue in the movie. I guess I'll find out (if/when I watch it!)<br /><br />Also, yeah, we will definitely have to agree to disagree about Sunshine. I'm afraid I really couldn't stand her character XD<br />danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7076115639598447002.post-75168465201444914202013-01-29T16:37:20.726-08:002013-01-29T16:37:20.726-08:00It was years ago that I read C&P, but I'm ...It was years ago that I read C&P, but I'm sure there's a good deal of psychology in there and I'd probably find that aspect more interesting if I read it again now.
