Jane Eyre

Summary: A wonderful story you will never forget.
Review: When I was 12 my aunt gave me a copy of Jane Eyre. It was a favorite of hers as a young girl. It quickly became a favorite of my own. It encouraged me to seek out other books like any one of Jane Austen's great novels, Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. So I am eternally grateful to my aunt who handed me a small paperback that opened my mind to a world I never knew! I hope to give my own niece a copy of Jane Eyre, and hopefully she will love it like I do. So please, read this book it is wonderful.

Summary: One of the finest heroines in literature
Review: I first read Jane Eyre when I was 9 at the recommendation of my 4th grade teacher. After that, I would always say that it was my favorite book. At 25, I looked back and wondered if I had really understood the book at age nine. So I reread it, and realized how deeply I had understood. The character of Jane had seeped into my subconcious as a role model against whom I unwittingly checked myself. She is level-headed, but not rigid. She falls into things, but is conscious while falling. She is neither a namby-pamby nor a Polyanna. She stands up for herself, while still respecting others. On top of all of that, she is very real. Her mental journey is recognizable to me, more so the older I get. The book is also swooningly romantic at times. Mr. Rochester is wonderful and arrogant, and vunerable, and grouchy. The conversations they have are beautiful, and fully engaging. This book will live inside me until the end of my days, and I'm so grateful.

Summary: It's the best book I have ever read.
Review: This is a really good book. It's a little hard to read because Charlotte Bronte describes everything in such great detail, but that adds to the image of the book. I love how when she does describe it you feel as if you're in the book actually looking at it. I haven't read many books where the author describes thing like she does. If you want a book to enjoy for a long time you should read it.

Summary: MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOK AND HEROINE
Review: JANE EYRE has been my favorite book since my adolesence (I am not so old, though). I have admired the strenght, independence, kindness, gentleness, high class of mind and spirit of Jane Eyre ever since I was 13. Charlotte Bronte's writing stile I love as well--it is a stile of a true writer and artist that she really was. It is enjoyment as well as self-improvement that this book offeres to the reader. Don't miss it! It is so different from nowadays' garbage that we all come across so often!

Summary: beautifully written story
Review: Charlote Bronte is a beautiful writer who brings the reader for an emotional ride. You'll cry for Jane and laugh with her. I am only sixteen and I first read this book when I was fourteen. I fell in love with it and since then have read it many times. It is good when you are feeling sad or happy. It is also the kind of book to read on a winter's day while sipping hot cocoa.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read!!
Review: I loved Jane Eyre with all my heart! Jane is such a wonderful person and a great role model. The love between Jane and Rochester surpasses all boundaries, especially the physical, and I only wish that everyone could love and be loved as the two main characters in this novel did. I will always cherish Jane Eyre as the beautiful story that it is.

Summary: pretty good
Review: I'm reading this novel for my AP English class, and it's okay so far (I'm about 50 pages short of finishing the book). Bronte definitely has a way with words, and Jane's story, though in some parts a bit unrealistic, certainly makes for a good read. However, the dialogue is a little confusing sometimes because the author uses the wrong pronouns (like: "Would she like a morsel of bread?" when it ought to be "Would YOU like a morsel of bread?")This happens pretty often near the end, and it's terribly annoying. These flaws not withstanding, however, "Jane Eyre" will appeal to anyone who enjoys the romance and soap-opera plots of Victorian literature paired with some gothic characteristics (crazy Bertha screaming and doing mischief in her locked cell).

Summary: Watching tomatoes rot is more interesting than Jane Eyre.
Review: While sloshing through the almost unreadable text of the verbose Charlotte Bronte, one can imagine why she was never married. Don't get us wrong, it's not that we don't understand the underlying themes and the higher level concepts; they just contain absolutely no relevance whatsoever. The plot, dare we call it that, winds slowly through the 400+ pages of this so-called classic. If you must read it for school-don't. You'd be better off guessing on the test than being utterly confused and bored to tears.

Summary: really thought provoking
Review: This novel is one of the most expressionistic novels I have ever read. It clearly conveys the love between Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester as Jane Eyre emerges into womanhood. It is about life strengthening situations and finding a love that clearly does not look at the physical, but a true love that is deep within the heart. Jane Eyre is a great book by Charlotte Bronte and I will treasuer it where I go, and reread and reread it over and over. It's spectacular.

Summary: outstanding!
Review: I was required to read this novel in high school and fell in love with it immediately. The in depth detail and descriptions leave the reader with a great mental image. The emotional descriptions sweep the reader away to feel all of the joy and pain Jane Eyre experiences. It's not just a wonderfully captivating love story; it's a story of an interesting woman's interesting life.
