Summary: Jane Eyre, Schmane Eyre
Review: This book stinks. Who writes this stuff? Come on, who cares about the 1800's, much less the stale, stifled personalities in them?Give me a good car explosion or a towering inferno. 'Nuff said.

Summary: terrible reading
Review: This has to be one of the most rediculous books I have ever decided to read. The is no relevancy to anything, the character may have been an influecial person in the 1800's but not now. Sure read this book, but only if you a really intrested in romantic novels of the 1800's.

Summary: Jane Eyre
Review: Jane Eyre is a plain woman in looks, but her intelligence, strength, and feistiness make her a heroine who I think gives much-needed justice to women of her time. She is a spitfire who makes you want to know her and hear her story, and she tells it in a clear, first-person fashion that makes it an easy story to read. Orphaned at a young age, Jane is sent to live with her aunt and cousins, who abuse Jane physically and mentally for ten years. Eventually ejected from her aunt's household on false charges of thievery, Jane is then packed off to Lowood, a charity boarding school whose conditions were deplorable; students were scarcely provided with food and clothing (think Oliver Twist), and were regularly terrorized by the school's cruel headmaster. If that weren't enough, Jane's only real friend at Lowood dies during an outbreak of Typhus. Fast-forward eight years - Jane, still nearly penniless after a two-year stint as a teacher at Lowood, ventures out to make a life for herself as a governess. Her charge is a precocious French child named Adele, with whom she develops a fast friendship. But the real story of Eyre lies in her relationship with the child's foster parent, Mr. Rochester, the dolefule, aloof, yet passionate and somewhat mysterious master of Thornfield. Despite their differing castes and the 20 years separating their ages, their feelings for each other grow deep, and they decide to marry. But it doesn't go exactly as Jane had planned - their wedding ceremony is stopped when it is revealed that Mr. Rochester is already married - to a madwoman whom he has kept locked up in one of Thornfield's bedrooms for years! Horrified, Jane flees Thornfield, ending up a beggar on the streets because she spent her entire savings to leave. Eventually taken in by a clergyman, St. John Rivers, and his two sisters, Jane makes a new life for herself as a teacher. During this time, Jane finds herself the sole heir of her father's estate. Soon after, St. John proposes marriage to her repeatedly, but Jane finds his cold demeanor lacking in comparison to the man she truly loves, Mr. Rochester. (She also finds out that St. John is actually her first cousin - a staple of this genre, it seems.) Prompted by hearing Rochester's voice calling her name during a prayer for guidance, Jane returns to Thornfield, only to find it burned down, and Mr. Rochester blinded by the fire his wife set before killing herself. Naturally, Jane and Mr. Rochester live happily ever after, but if you think this is merely another sappy love story (which I am no fan of!), you would be wrong. In Eyre, Charlotte Bronte shows us a depth and realness of characters which you would be hard-pressed to find in any other novel. Do yourself a favor by reading it - you'll understand why it's considered one of the finest examples of English literature.

Summary: My All-Time Favorite Book
Review: Jane Eyre is a wonderful masterpiece! I absolutely love it. The characters are so well drawn that you become one with Jane and everything she feels and endures. Mr. Rochester has to be the greatest male figure in literature! Move over Heathcliff! I got goosebumps by the end of the book and wanted to immedietly flip it over and begin again.

Summary: The First Independent Woman
Review: Jane Eyre is the story of the relationship between the steadfastly independent title character and her mysterious employer, Mr. Rutherford. Rutherford has hired Jane to teach his young daughter. Jane has been taught to be subordinate, and therefore fiercely independent, by her uncaring aunt. Rutherford develops an affection for Jane that goes unrequited. Jane cannot bring herself to step out of her role as the inferior caregiver and forego the independence that she loves. To give into Rutherford would mean relinquishing much of her independence to a man with a dominating personality. To make matters worse, there are rumors in town that Rutherford's stately home contains the ghosts of his dead wife. Rutherford does not speak of his wife; and, Jane never asks him about the strange noises she hears and 'apparitions' that she sees at night. Jane Eyre is a thoroughly enjoyable literary masterpiece. It is the 'bookification' of a page turner. Jane is one of the most sympathetic heroines in all the world of fiction, and in real life for that matter. The ending is unlike many Victorian novels in that it is much more true to life than the fairy tale like closings of so many of its contemporaries. Read Jane Eyre and you will enjoy it.

Summary: Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
Review: Jane Eyre is a suspensful novel that includes new excitements on every page. It is the story of a young orphan who is raised by her mean and unloving aunt who sends Jane away to Lowood boarding school at age ten. Lowood isn't the most loving place either. It is a charity school where all the students have lost at least one of their parents. This means that the conditions are far worse then other schools. These poor conditions result in a great erupion of typhoid within the school and many die at school or are sent home to die. Jane Eyre survives this however and stays at Lowood for eight years. She is a student there for six years, and a teacher for two. Then she decides that it is time to move on, and puts an ad in the paper for a job as a governess. Her ad is answered by Alice Fairfax. Alice Fairfax is the house keeper at Thornfeild and it is her job to also find a governess for the ward Adele. Thornfeild is owned by a man by the name of Edward Rochester. He offers money a job, a house, love, and everything else that money can buy to Jane, but it is still not enough for her. All through her life Jane has craved loving family and she is determined to find her relatives.After Jane learns the terrible secret of the attic she decides that she must find her way on her own. She leaves Thornfeild and travels by foot, and by carriage. She is turned into a beggar because she leaves many of her belongings in the parcel that she carlessly left on the carriage. When she is at the point of almost dying she is found on the door step of Moor house, where St. John brings her in and his sisters Mary and Diana help bring her back to good health. St. John gets her a job and a little cottage to live in. There Jane is almost as happy as she could be, but still something is missing. Will Jane ever find this one last element to make her life perfect?
