Reading the book #2

The first quarter of the book starts off with a really confusing plot line. The author makes the narrator into a third and also first person narration of the story. The story is told through many different stories which kinda confused me on the characters. I wonder why she did that, and if it was to make a more complex work of fiction. So I am confused if Heathcliff is a memory, or lost his memory and is now remembering his life before something.  I feel I almost have to read between the lines to understand the novel and I do not like it. I wanted a simple love story but I am finding that this is why there are many criticisms about this book.

This is how I feel about the book at this point...

From the very beginning of the book I was confused. I had to look up many words begging in the first few chapters, because they are big, unknown, and I didn’t know what they meant. But most importantly I wanted to understand what I was reading. I was rather confused in the beginning because I assumed it was writing from a woman’s perspective, so for a few chapters I had to read over because I guess I didn’t know my book. So it was a struggle in the beginning.
