Re: Book Club

You know which books I love most from the Bronte sisters?

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte. Agnes is pretty good too.

This might be why - Dude Watching with the Brontes

Totally agree. I also don't get why people love it s much. I hated it. I was 40 pages from the end and threw it across the room and said no more. I hated every single person in that novel.
Why do any of the characters have to be likeable? I don't think they're supposed to impress you.
I think one reason why I didn't like it that much was that I found it difficult to empathize with the characters, and it's nice to be able to identify with a character when reading. Even if you're being cruel, find me a reason why I should sympathize with you.

I do think main characters tend to be more likeable than Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw. That said, while the characters aren't going to be in my top favourites, the novel was an experience.
