Summary: Definetly one of the best romance novels!
Review: These days there are a lot of these 'trashy' romance novels being published. But the ovels written by Jane Austen, The Brontes(Charlotte, Ann & Emily),Georgette Heyer (all are English)have nothing trashy in them. They're so good that I wish that I was there in England during the 16th & 17th century. Jane Eyre was one of my all-time favourites, thoough I didn't realise it back then when I 1st read it. I had the misfortune of reading the abridged version & I'm sure many of the beautiful English phrases would've been deleted. I don't really remember the whole story in detail, but I do recall a brief outline. It's about a lady Jane Eyre, who falls in love with Mr.Rochester(I THINK he's her employer, I'm not really sure) But later, it's revealed that Mr. Rochester has a wife, who is also mentally deranged. I really don't remember what happens in the end, but I DO remember one thing. At the beginning, when the novel unfolds, I thought it was kind of scary. There were these wierd sounds coming from above, but later it was all explained.(I won't tell u how. You've got 2 read it & find out!) All in all, it's one of my favourites & I recommend it to anybody who loves romance novels set in ENgland.

Summary: Do not Eyre on the side of caution
Review: My first attempt at a popular classic of that period, and I must admit, that I started to read it with some apprehension. I was worried that I would find it too daunting - how wrong I was! At one point in the book, Jane enters into the Billiards Room in Thornfield Hall to speak to Mr Rochester, I was there too. I smelt the musty, stale pipe smoke, observed the dimly lit room, and heard the russle of the ladies starched skirts.For my first attempt at such a novel, I wasn't let down, in fact I was disappointed when the book ended, wanting to stay in the life of Jane Eyre. It now makes me want to read more of Charlotte Bronte's work!

Summary: Male and loved it!
Review: I just read in the second-to-last review that the reader (from suburban D.C.) never met a man or a boy who liked this book. Well here's one! I am 23 years old and have just finished it for my literature class, but it's not unprobable I would have read it otherwise anyway, sience it is a classic. Anyway, I first of all think it was very well written with a fluent language. The main reason why I enjoyed it so much, though, is because of the way the writer seems to understand and symphatise with her characters (which are all very real), even for the ones that have faults she condemns. You might think I, being a man (or a boy), could not identify with Jane, but in many ways I could. Maybe because Charlotte Brontë is so superb in making her literal world coming alive, that I almost feel I'm there myself, or maybe just because Jane Eyre is the kind of person you'd want to be.

Summary: Dark, Beloved, and Steadfast
Review: This unwavering literary classic brings to life one of the most endearing heroines ever conjured from the written word! Jane Eyre and the mysterious Mr. Rochester have fates that are interminably conjoined and torn asunder all throughout the course of this enduring masterpiece. In my eyes, this is the undoubted star of all the brilliant novels by the Bronte' sisters.

Summary: An Addictive Read
Review: I have just finished reading this book in school (I'm in year 10, and im glad Ive read it now before it was too late; all adults who have read this always say they wish they had done when they were a teenager). As it's so long, the class only had to read half of it, but I felt compelled to read the rest at home as I really felt for the character, and I felt like I'd just die if I didn't find out what happens to her! That's what defines any good book: only if the reader is made to feel for the characters can they be interested enough to take in the issues raised in the novel. I usually find that novels that are fun to read, about characters that readers warm to, are generally superficial, whereas novels involving two-dimensional characters contain relevent and worthwhile morals and issues for us to dwell on. Thats what defines Jane Eyre as a classic; it has the best of both worlds.

Summary: Poor and helpless
Review: We find, it's an interesting book. We read it in the in the English lesson. Sometimes it was hard to understand, because English is a foreign language for us. Jane is a courageous person and we could understand some of her emotions, because it's the reality and some of us know some of her feelings. We think it is a good book for young and romantic people, because the story tells of love and problems between men and women. Fränzi und Mela

Summary: Great story
Review: It is a very emotional story. The turbulent life of Jane had moved us. All what she had passed in her live, turned us on to make thoughts. We find it very force from her that she had returned to Mr Rochester after all that happened and after his great change. We both found or find it still a very good book, and we can recommend it all people who have a sense for true love and dramatic. Sandra und Cristina

Summary: A story with ups and downs
Review: This story tells the life of Jane Eyre. We find it's a very terrific story. The whole book is always interesting. The reader is usually wondered what will happen later. But the story isn't very realistic. Sometimes it is like in a fairy tale, so we can sink into clouds of dreaming. And it's relaxing to read it. All in all we would recommend it everybody. Erika and Drusilla

Summary: A story about a hard life
Review: A story about a hard life We think that Jane lives a hard life, but we were so happy as we saw that it had a happy ending. It is a beautiful love story and sometimes it is romantic. It is not only a love story it is a thrilling story too. As an orphan she had a very hard beginning in her life. As a reader you must feel with Jane. If Jane is angry with a person you feel angry too. So it is a emotional story. Sometimes the author stays too long with a particular situation. Angela & Dorothee

Summary: A difficult story about life
Review: The book is written in an interesting way, but it was also very difficult to read. It shows the life of an orphan at that time. For us it is very hard to understand how they lived. Sometimes we were angry with some person, for instance about Mrs Reed or St. John. We usually wanted to know what happened next Sibylle & Priska
