Summary: A great book to read
Review: I finished to read Jane Eyre a couple days ago, as an assigment for my reading class, and I'm still feeling the suffering that Jane had through her life, the story. In the other hand Charlotte Bronte definitely has a great talent. I liked the book and recommend it to everybody. Jane Eyre,a story of passion between a girl who lived in a house that didn't belong to her, with a family that wasn't hers in which she falls in love with her master, "master" because she was treated like a servant, and even less than that in certain occasions. A story of love and cruelty, destiny, suffering and hapiness, about life itself; particularly her life.

Summary: Many people love this book, but it is simply not for me
Review: This book is a classic, loved by many, and may be just the book for you. But for me, i found it rather dull, and while i like fiction, historical fiction, i found this to drag on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing
Review: I started this book and found the beginning of it a little dull and I put it down but a friend of mine encouraged me to try again to get through and I read the whole book in less than 3 days. It was one of the best books I ever read in my entire life. Any woman, 8th grader, or over will thoroughly enjoy this romantic (tearjerking, not just a few, but many) and passionate story of a woman's hard life and wonderful romance. You will be astonished at what secret Mr. Rochester is holding in his attic.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jane Eyre- a good book
Review: The novel Jane Eyre is a charming story of love and morals. The main character Jane has to overcome a struggle of her morals in order to find her true identity. Throughout the novel Jane finds love and acceptance in many places, in the arms and the home of her love Rochester, and in the house of her cousins. This is the perfect novel for a true romantic and anyone struggling to find their own identity.

Summary: DESCRIPTIONS OF JANE EYRE
Review: JANE EYRE WAS A BOOK OF WONDERFUL DESCRIPTION. I LIKED HOW BRONTE WAS ABLE TO DESCRIBE THE SETTING OF THE PARTICULAR SCENE AND SET YOU WITH THE CHARACTERS. ONE OF MY FAVORITE DESCRIPTIONS WAS THE RED ROOM. IT WAS A ROOM THAT JANE WAS PUT INTO AS A YOUNG GIRL WHEN SHE WAS "BAD". WITH EVERY DESCRIPTION IT MADE ME FEEL THE EMOTIONS JANE WAS HAVING. WHEN JANE WAS FRIGHTENED OR NERVOUS I TOO WAS NERVOUS AND FIGHTENED. WITH EVERY EMOTION FROM JANE THERE WAS ANOTHER DESCRIPTION. THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF DESCRIPTIVES THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE STORY. THE REED CHILDREN ARE A PERFECT DESCRIPTION OF CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN GIVEN EVERYTHING. JOHN, ELIZA ,AND GEORGIANA ARE DESCRIBED SO WELL THAT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE A FIRST IMPRESSION AND MAKE A FEW PREDICTIONS AS TO WHAT MAY GO ON DURING THE STORY BECAUSE OF THEIR ATTITUDES. JOHN REED WAS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A CHILD WHO WOULD TURN HIS BACK ON YOU LIKE A SNAKE IN ORDER TO GET WHAT HE WANTED AND IN THE END THIS CAME TO PASS. WHEN ELIZA REED WAS FIRST DESCRIBED IN THE BOOK AS HEADSTRONG, SELFISH, BUT RESPECTED I NEVER EXPECTED HER TO TURN OUT THE WAY SHE DID. I ALSO FOUND THAT GEORGIANA'S CHARACTER IN THE END WAS ALSO A SURPRISE. THESE THREE CHARACTERS ARE PERFECT EXAMPLES OF HOW WELL BRONTE WAS ABLE TO MAKE VISUALS WITHOUT EVER SEEING A THING. IF YOU ARE A VISUAL PERSON CHARLOTTE BRONTE'S JANE EYRE IS AN OUTSTANDING BOOK TO GRAB YOUR ATTETION AND KEEP THE PAGES TURNING. I THOUROUGHLY ENJOYED THE BOOK DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF DESCRIPTIONS MAKING IT VERY EASY TO KEEP MY ATTENTION.

Summary: Simply not my style
Review: Prior to tackling this work, I had only read one romance novel that I have every liked - Gone with the Wind. Reading Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" did not change that statistic. While I can acknowledge the worth and eloquence of this novel, I cannot say that I enjoyed it in the least. It took a determined effort for me to read it through, and I was quite relieved to reach the end.

From my experience, I have yet to meet any male who has enjoyed this book, and have yet to meet a female that didn't adore it. I don't know what it is about the books by the Bronte sisters and Austen, but for some reason, the gender gap seems a mile wide.

For what it is, I am sure it is a great book worthy of the praise it has received.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Strength, character, and duty....
Review: A novel that stands the test of time. Jane Eyre is an eloquently written, surprising, and captivating novel. The beauty of this tale is sometimes overlooked because of the time period from which it hails. However, one must not allow the restrains of the time period in which this novel was written restrict one from reading it. For, not only does Jane defy the roles set for her by the society of her time, but this novel, written under a pseudonym by Charlotte Bronte defies the rules of a novel for its time.

The novel is revolutionary in its own singularly, and by what is captured on its pages.

This is a must-read for anyone. A classic that is a necessary addition to every library.

This book is above any star-rating system.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: hero in my heart
Review: Spiritual and supernatural themes can be traced throughout the novel-¡°Jane Eyre¡±, my most favorate novel which shows me how to keep my courage, independence and self-respect in life. Jane not only shows the reader her beliefs on female independence through her actions, but also through her thoughts. Jane desires to see more of the world and have more interaction with its people. While she appreciates her simple life at Thornfield, she regrets that she does not have the means to travel. She relates her feelings to all women, not just those of her class. Jane is disadvantaged in many ways as she has no wealth, family, social position or beauty. Jane does have intelligence though. Jane¡¯s courage, self-respect and independent helps her towards to her life and overcome all the difficulties, finally obtain her life and her true love.
