Book 75 Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
7 out of 10. Classic love story with ghosts and a very modern writing style, but I don't remember one nice character in the book and they're nearly all dour Yorkshiremen/women who give nothing away. Cathy must be one of the most selfish and wilful heroines in the history of literature and Heathcliff the most miserable hero. He's only happy once he's in the grave (sorry if this gives it away). Were they really all so sickly in 19th century England? Everyone seems to take a cold after being out in the rain, and some of them die of it!
