Summary: I'm a man--and I liked it.
Review: I had several men try to dissuade me from reading _Jane Eyre_, but I'm glad I didn't listen. This is not an exclusively "female" novel; Jane Eyre's conflicts are universal: feelings of insecurity, feelings of jealousy; the temptation to give up what one truly wants for something less desirable but more easily obtainable. Women don't have a monopoly on these struggles. Any man with the slightest drop of romance and sensibility in his veins should be able to enjoy this book.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: You'll either love it or hate it,
Review: I was given this boom to read over the summer for school. I saw how thick it was and I thought oh-mi-god!! I read the first 2 chapters and could not get into it. But by the time I reached chapter 5 I couldn't put it down.

It's one of those books you'll either love or hate.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!!!!!
Review: i have to say, being a female teenager, Jane Eyre is one of the best if not THE best book i have ever read. i could totally relate to Jane. She's not georgous, not excellent at any one thing, yet she gets her man. i found the characterization to be masterful, by the middle of the book you could tell what jane would do, yet the book wasn't as predictable as some other classic writers. (ahhem Charles ahhemmm Dickens ahheeemmm Ernest aaahheem Hemingway aaahhheeemmm)sorry, i just had to clear my throught there. this is definately a book for girls. i'm not sexist, but i find that if i can relate to a character in the book than i will find it entertaining. i would not reccomend this for any guys. but definately the best book i have ever read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All of Jane Eyre is worth reading
Review: I will probably read this book again. I borrowed it from a friend and will most likely get my own copy. I liked Jane Eyre as a main character better than Catherine from Wuthering Heights because Jane was more compassionate. I also liked her because of her intriguing personality. From the beginning she sets herself as different from other people, more hardy and thoughtful. Her stay at Lowood is interesting, mainly because of her relationship with Helen and the contrast between the two. Her romance with Mr. Rochester is original. Some of that is due to the fact that Jane falls in love without being made foolish by it. Her stay with the Rivers family was sort of frustrating, because her character was suppressed by St. John. I really didn't like him. The ending was very good except for the last few paragraphs which dwell on St. John. But, that aside, Jane Eyre is a wonderful book, deserving to be read and reread by everyone.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bottom Line
Review: If you are a MALE, and are forced to read this book, do not even attempt to read it. Go with Cliff Notes. If you are a FEMALE, give it a try. The only reason schools asign this is because a woman wrote it. Email me your comments.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A beautiful story, beautifully written.
Review: I read this book when a friend challenged me to deliberately read more books by women authors. This was one of the books I read, and I'm glad I did!

I read that the Bronte's grew up writing stories for entertainment -- it seems to show. This story was moving and obviously written by someone with much experience. By the time I was half-way through the book, I was wrapped up in the story, and felt a commitment to the characters.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: It discourages people from reading for the rest of life!
Review: I was forced to read this book for summer reading. No ways around it. Upon reading the back page summary, I knew that it would be a grueling torture test in which only the strong willed would surive to the last page. Trudging page by terribe, agonizing page, I read the book over a period of one horrific month. Needless to say, this book ruined the previous exitement I had about reading. This is terrible. Some "classics" should not be given to males, as goes for females. Obviously a romance novel should not be given to a male and ask him to enjoy it, as such a brutal police killers book should not be given to a female and expect her to geniunely enjoy it. This book has left a deep scar on my ability to love liturature for the rest of my life and will not be easily healed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best!
Review: I really love this book, I think I've read it three times now! I don't understand those who say that "Jane Eyre" is boring, but I guess it depends on the individual taste. Anyway, you should really read this book, and it doesn't matter what I say here, just look at my 5 stars and let them (and the book) speak for themselves.
