We rise from the perusal of Wuthering Heights as if we had
come fresh from a pest-house. Read Jane Eyre is our advice, but burn Wuthering Heights...
Ouch.
Reviewer: James Lorimer
Publication: North British Review
Date: about 1847
Here all the faults of Jane Eyre (by Charlotte Brontë) are
magnified a thousand fold, and the only consolation which we have in
reflecting upon it is that it will never be generally read.
Again, ouch.
Here are what other people said.

This
is a work of great ability, and contains many chapters, to the production
of which talent of no common order has contributed...

Wuthering Heights, by Ellis Bell, is a terrific story, associated
with an equally fearful and repulsive spot...
Just because people don't like it, doesn't mean your story isn't good.
Write because you love to do it. One person's opinion is just that.
