Summary: A brilliant literary novel of suspense
Review: The suspense in this novel is extreme, especially considering that it's literary and not a genre title. It is, in one sense, a love story, and yet it manages to make the reader feel anxiety more akin to what one feels while watching Hitchcock. Yet the story does flow from character. The characters are round and not flat as in much genre fiction. The writing is extremely perceptive and wonderfully styled. And while the dialogue is somewhat unrealistic and while the book contains one coincidence I found a little hard to believe and one very melodramatic incident, AND while there was yet a third key plot element (related to marriage) that was, insofar as I am aware, inconsistent with the law as it was at that time (I'm a lawyer), I nonetheless forgave all those faults because Bronte's positive qualities as a writer are so utterly superlative. Reading this book was a magnificent experience. I have never enjoyed a book more.

Summary: A Rebel in Literature
Review: Despite general complaints of its monotonous dialogue, Jane Eyre continues to fascinate readers with dazzling morals embodied in an unlikely heroine--"poor, obscure, plain, and little". Being a rebel among its contemporaries, Charlotte Bronté presents the detailed psychological aspects of human nature in the most deliberate manners. The novel itself has a very attractive story line with the orthodox format of "good fictions"-- gloomy mansion with dark mysteries lurking out, and a plain governess as the conqueror of all evil through the redemption of the soul of one man who's escaping from the past and from the truth. In this madly materialized society, Jane Eyre has withstood the test of time to continue embark echo in the heart and mind of the thoughtful.

Summary: A book beond words
Review: Yes this book can and is confusing but just like you can't judge a book by it's cover you can't judge a book by it's first five pages. The text is hard and there are confuseing words but the book has such a strong message and good plot that no one should go without reading it!

Summary: A Favorite
Review: I read this book during my senior year in high school, and I loved it. I read it once a year, and I also have the movie. This is a very captivating book. The descriptions are very vivid and full of life. The love that grew between Jane and Edward survived many hardships, and their romance is one to dream about. Even though the book was written long ago, it still fits in with modern life. It is very easy to lose yourself in this wonderfully written book. This is a book that I think everyone should read. I know I plan to reread it many times during the course of my life.

Summary: This is a wonderful book!
Review: I read the book Jane Eyre once when I was in 5th or 6th grade (or possible the summer in-between...?) and I absolutely LOVED it. I read it again the summer after seventh grade (last summer) and I still love it just as much. It's one of those books that you can just read over and over and over....and you never get tired of it. Charlotte Bronte tells Jane's heartbreaking storing of being mistreated as a child and growing up into a shy, reserved young adult so well. I can see everything in the book happening as I read it. I especially love the ending - I'm so glad it's a happy one. This book is SO a two thumbs up in my opinion!

Summary: Jane Eyre
Review: I recently finished reading the book Jane Eyre. It was really good! Even though the vocabulary is somewhat challenging, it was worth it (even if you need a dictionary:)! I enjoyed reading it because it was well-written. Charlotte Bronte has a way of writing descriptions of characters and dialogue with humor. It's also nice to read a book and to be able to say it was worth reading. It doesn't have unpleasant surprises or unnecessary details of violence. It doesn't dwell on violence, either. Though Jane has a rather depressing time in her early life, she doesn't dwell on being unhappy (She kind of reminds me of Cinderella). Read Jane Eyre to find out if her determination to remain virtuous will be stronger than her desire to be with the man she loves and admires!

Summary: "Reader, I married him."
Review: I first read this book when I was in middle school and the character of Jane really empowered me. In many of the movie versions of this story Jane is presented as retiring, shy, and passive. This is directly contradictory to the message of the novel. In our society, silence is equivalent to weakness, whereas we regard speech as the only evidence that someone is actually thinking. Unless we directly hear someone's thoughts we assume that they don't have any. So, everybody talks and nobody listens. Jane spends a lot of time in the background watching and listening. She is assumed by many to have nothing worthwhile to say because she is quiet, she is poor, she is ugly, and she is a woman. Jane doesn't really care about people's assumptions though, and uses them to allow her to see everything that goes on around her. If any of the people who discount her so easily were privy to her scathing thoughts about them, they would be astonished. And Jane's silence does not translate into weakness. Many other novels in the 18th and 19th century concern tales of how women are led to their downfall. Jane controls her own fate. She puts her individual worth above everything else--society, religion, and even love. In the center of the book, Rochester asks her to be his mistress and for a moment she considers this, asking herself, "Who in the world cares for you? or who will be injured by what you do?" and her reply is, "I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am the more I will respect myself." Stated opinions and talk are ultimately meaningless. The whole of society tells Jane that she is worthless everyday of her life, but Jane has watched the hypocrisy of society and she knows that her past and future actions give her worth.

Summary: I've read it countless times
Review: And each time I still find something new to love. On about the fifth or sixth reading, you finally start reading all those long descriptions word for word rather than breezing through for plot. They're wonderful and frequently humerous. Bronte has a tremendous sense of humor. My favorite things about the work are its humor and how it attacks fundamentalist Protestant Christianity while embracing Christianity. Unfortunately it has little tolerance for Catholicism. But that is only a minor theme and I think Charlotte Bronte herself was much more liberal minded when she was dealing with particular individuals rather than stereotypes. At the very least it is a lesson in the prejudices of her day. Jane Eyre is ultimately a fairy tale. Everything is made right in the end. But it has far more edge than a mere romance. How many romances have ten year olds telling off the fundamentalist ministers who threaten them with hell? How many of them have the eight year old outlive her anger and grow into a generous and forgiving spirit. How many mere romances rely so heavily on playful intellectual banter? Jane Eyre is Cinderella and she is rescued not by beauty and a fairy godmother and pumpkin coach, but by wit and heart.
