Summary: A good classic
Review: OK, so this is not Wuthering Heights, all drama and stormy characters. So what? Jane Eyre is still a very good book. Its main attraction is the superb description of Jane's problematic life and the character's in the book. A good story must draw the readers into it, making them feel like they're witnessing the action firsthand, and Jane Eyre does it beautifully. I didn't like much the main character at first, until she proved to be smarter then she had appeared first. This is a classic everyone should read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A book well worth your time!
Review: Jane Eyre is wonderful-there is simply no other word for it. From the very beginning, the story sweeps you up and holds you captive. On the first page, Jane is sure to win you over, and keep you on her side throughout the entire book. Told in elegant English, the story feels real and the characters seem to leap out of the pages. When I read Jane Eyre, I felt the lonely misery of her childhood, endured the sufferings of Lowood School, and shivered in the dark as strange noises issued from the attic of Mr. Rochester's house. I too rejoiced at the prospect of marriage to Mr. Rochester, and was filled with dark despair when the secret of the locked third story room was revealed. This book is truly a masterpiece that I would encourage everyone, even teenagers and young adults to read. You won't regret it if you do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A hopelessly romantic book!
Review: I just finished reading this book and am still in shock of how excellant it was. I am normally not that emotional about books, but at the end of this book, I sobbed. How wonderful that true love conquered all. It is a magnificent book that all women should read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Great Review
Review: The novel is about a cheap gal called Jane Air who is out looking for the perfect guy to marry, one with a tonne of cash. Sure, it set's a great example for what girls should achieve in life, so why not, get all the cash you can! I don't know about you, but for those who have read the sequal of the novel, I found it facinating, however.... it's up to u to make up ur mind about it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Splendid
Review: I have read this book over and over! It is a wonderful novel on the human condition. It gives hope to any who desires to rise above thier station in life. Bronte does a wonderful job depicting each and every one of her characters. The happy ending though somewhat unrealistic is very heart felt. It makes me want to be a better, smarter, more pure person each time I read it. I strongly recommend this to everyone. It keeps your attention and is always an inspiration.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I enjoyed Jane Eyre immensely and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good book to become completely immersed in.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jane Eyre
Review: Charlotte Bronte created quite an admirable heroine. Jane Eyre is, without a doubt, one of the most unforgettable heroines of all time. Also, the love story has a modern quality that tells the reader that this book was ahead of its time.

As a penniless orphan, Jane Eyre had to endure many adversities in order to secure her status as a governess in the home of Mr. Rochester, a temperamental man with a dark secret -- a secret that could destroy the powerful bond he'd had with Jane Eyre.

This novel has revolutionized romantic fiction; it has influenced many writers. Jane Eyre is one of my favorite heroines; I will always admire her courage and independence. I applaud Charlotte Bronte for having invented such an unforgettable character. Jane Eyre has found a special place in my heart -- and on my bookshelf!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Why Bother
Review: Alright, this book was god awful. The begining dragged on about how poor and oppressed Jane was it was so cliched that i could've guessed what was going to happen next. Most all of the characters were two demensional and the plot was basic. This was more of a character development novel then a plot based novel. I'm not sexist in the least but this is truely a women's novel. The style was sappy and drawn out, and it was to much of a love story. I'm not trying to be macho but gentlemen don't waste your time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best book I have ever read!
Review: I am only 12 years old but at least read a book a week. When i first picked up this book i felt i would not beable to finish it because of my ablity to get bored really quick. I started reading it and couldn't put it down. I got in trouble in 2 classes because i had been reading it under my desk until i reached a point (which was very rare) that i could put it down. I love Jane Eyre's way of thinking and how she trys to make her life as full as possible. I would recomend this to everyone! I keep on going back in the book to a part i liked best or a place in the story that captivates me. It seems i will never grow tired of this book. I hope all that have read it feel the same!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Best Book from the Bronte Family
Review: This is surely the best book from the Bronte family. Out of any of the books that they have published, this one is by far the closest to being interesting. A lot of neat stuff happens if you pay close attention.

The reason why I give this book a three is that I don't see it a as a great work of literature. The are many other books out there (my favorite: the unabridged version of The Count of Monte Cristo) that deserve a five. I couldn't bring myself to even give this a four.

In all I see Jane Eyre as an ok book. However, it does become very dull at times and you won't pick it up and read it again if you make it to the end.
