    A beautiful love story and excellent read. I was enthralled from the first chapter and stayed up past my bedtime because difficult to put the book down.
  • Schools should require this reading, even just for the vocabulary

    Read this classic after I had seen it on TV. The novel stirred my love for the english language, how you can use it to describe any situation without the prolixity of ‘ you know’ and ‘ aahhh’ . Some words are becoming obsolete due to non usage, I needed a dictionary next to me. It’s fascinating how Bronte in those days conceived a romantic story tying up poverty, religion, friendship and redemption. Lovely.
  • Good but very drawn out

    As rounded as Jane is, internally and externally blossoming, her romantic endeavor with Rochester was confusing and drawn out. I like the premise but did not prefer some plot choices. Great book, just longgggg.

    It is an obviously well written and thought out story. I found some issue with the romance’s third act conflict. It’s not my favorite love story but I found myself highlighting a few key pieces of the romance, finding that they were articulating a feeling I hadn’t yet been able to put into words. I’m definitely happy to have now read Jane Eyere

    I gave ‘Jane Eyre’ 4 stars for two reasons: 1.) Because it took a fair amount of determination to become comfortable with the language (words not in U. S. English or not used in a familiar way) and the grammatical structure used to reflect the time period of the story and that of the author. 2.) I couldn’t find a way to rate it 4.7 stars. Well worth the effort to become accustomed to the literary style.

    I hated to separate from the page for the demands of life. Now that our time together has ended, I am fully satiated. I can move on and look back with contentment at our holiday. I am not dismayed. Perhaps I shall visit again someday, perhaps not.
