Apparently one Charles Allen from The Corsair considers the Brontës to be one of God's tortures:

Besides, God has already tortured us enough with soap operas, the recording career of Bjork, each of the Bronte sisters, dog shows, Yanni, Julia Roberts movies, the Ford Pinto, every boy band ever created, and that lady who works at the Tom Thumb down the street from me.

Hmph!!

But on the other hand, Spanish writer Ana María Matute discovered Wuthering Heights at 17 and really liked it:

A los 17 me marcó «Cumbres borrascosas» de Emily Bronte.

(Which in Brontë language is: At 17 Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë made an impression on me. And in Yorkshire dialect is: A' 17 Wutherin 'Eights by wee Emily Brontë made an impression on uz ;) ).
