Spectre

I normally enjoy the classics, but I couldn't stand Wuthering Heights. I found it dull, the prose is very dense, but unlike other classics, I felt that there was very little meaning or actual story in it. I just felt the story could have been told in far fewer pages and still had the same impact and effect. I really tried to like the book, but I have to say that I can't understand why it is so popular. Could somebody enlighten me?
