Jane Eyre

I love your site.

I read this book at age 9 and it's still my best book ever.I read it as many times as possible and have also cried as many times.it's simply the best classic novel ever written

Oh my god!! This is one of the best books ever written!!! I read it when I was like... 13 years old, and I started to read it and I couldn't stop!! and since then I've read that book... maybe 1o times, could be more. It's my favorite one.

i love the pair of JANE and EDWARD ROCHESTER.....but i hate ST. JOHN...he is so mean!!!!love the book though...

Ok, it is now my favourite book. Much superior to the Brontë Sisters' other works.. Jane is such a lovely character you long to see her happy!

I read this book before I found the site and it is my favorite book ever! Everyone should read it, Jane Eyre is awesome!!!!!!

This book is a classic. No movie I ever seen has done this justice. Heavy with true christian morality. jane keeps her morals and gets the guy too.

Jane Eyre is a flawless masterpiece. It has every ingredient a reader could ask for. It's mysterious, romantic, passionate and a great love story.

A wonderful classic. The story beings with orphan, Jane, being raised by an Aunt (by marriage) who has taken on her raising due to a promise to her deceased husband. However, the aunt, nor the cousins ever accept Anne as one of theirs. Anne is shipped off to a religious girl\'s school, where she is half-starved, and taught religious extremes. However, one teacher takes her under her wing, and Jane thrives, to even later become a teacher at the school herself. Jane eventually leaves the school to become a governess, and the rest of the story, is the romance that grows between her, and her master, Mr. Rochester. There are some parts of the book, especially as Jane grows older, that get lengthy, and difficult to read. However, the story line is wonderful, and the twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat. A great classic book - a must read.

This is a classic Gothic and Victorian love novel . I have seen several film adaptations of Jayne Eyre but had never read the book. What struck me immediately about the novel is that it is written in the first-person. This enables Charlotte Bronte to enter the mind of Jayne, a governess in the employment of Edward Rochester. We see that Jayne is a reserved but passionate girl. Jayne, although plain-looking, is industrious, clever and honest. She is a true heroine who bravely faces adversity when it arises. The book does has moral and religious undertones but I did not find these intrusive. The prose is beautiful written especially the descriptions of Nature. Downsides? Adèle Varens, the little French girl who is the ward of Edward Rochester, can speak English but will insist in speaking French at every opportunity! I don't speak French. What Adèle was saying in French, therefore, was a complete mystery to me. Also the discussions between Jayne and some of the characters do go on a bit. Should you bother to read this book? Undoubtedly! I would go further and say this is a book everyone should read before they die!
