Summary: Everyone should read Jane Eyre. Don't blame me if you don't
Review: The first time I read Jane Eyre I was quite young and I hated it. Then in college I took a semester long course where we analyzed every little thing... I thought it woukd be even more boring but it was FASCINATING. This book can be read on so many different levels, there is so much symbolism and metaphor, that I discover something new each time. By the way, if you liked Jane Eyre, read Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys...

Summary: Visit another time when shock value had no value.
Review: As a child of the eighties, when reading recently published books and seeing movies, I've grown accustomed to "love" being graphically depicted sexual attraction that eventually turns into romance. How refreshing it is to read Jane Eyre, where the order is reversed! A portrayal of love like this is hard to come by. In Jane Eyre, everything is pure, and the love is passionate without anything you'd be embarrassed to tell your parents about. The characters are likeable - I found myself rooting for the protagonsits, hoping Jane and Mr. Rochester would wind up togther no matter how many obstacles they may come across. Yeah, there are a lot of descriptions, but surprisingly, there was even a little adventure. I enjoyed it!

Summary: A suberb novel about understanding human love and endurance
Review: I've noticed a trend in those readers who have disliked this novel; they seem to have been forced to read Jane Eyre. I too read this book for school, but began about six months before it was due. I think it is truly one of the most beautiful books I have ever read, with strong messages about human behavior..Jane, despite difficult beginnings in her life, became the strongest, most loving charcter in the book. Who really cares that she fell in love with an "old guy?" Here's a newsflash..he was only in his thirties or forties, and that isn't so old. Jane found love, and that's a bigger accomplishment than a lot of us can claim. Try Jane Eyre again some other time if you're up against a deadline..details are not evil, description is not boring. If the rest of the world says Jane Eyre is a classic, although you are entitled to your own opinion, there's a good chance it is. And one more thing-"renting the movie" and buying "Cliffs Notes" are not alternative options to reading a novel. To think that taking shortcuts in reading for school assignments is an advantage, is to fool yourself. I had a teacher give a pass/fail test in which the true/false questions relied solely upon the differences between a book and the movie made after it. Something to think about.

Summary: A delicious read that cannot be rushed or lightly covered.
Review: A story from another time and place, rich in words, emotion, and narrative detail, fitting the romantic period of English history. Prepare yourself to go slowly at first to absorb the heroic character of Jane Eyre as she survives the not-to-be-gotten-around class system of 19th C England. By today's standards, she is not only fiercely independent and incredibly intelligent; she is morally superior. Suspense builds and delivers even if you have seen the movie. What a love story! Charlotte Bronte would have scored a perfect 800 on the Verbal SAT. Indeed, it probably would not have challenged her!

Summary: Buy This Book. Why?
Review: Because people who don't like this book are stupid poopheads. It's just that simple. Jane Eyre is a classic, not only of Victorian literature, but of all time. You must love it; and if you can't, there's something clearly wrong with you.

Summary: One of the greatest novels ever written!
Review: I have already written a review for this book. Actually, I wrote it several months ago. However, I found one review that disturbed me. The reviewer said, and I quote, "Thank the gods for Jane Austen, I say. At least her heroines were role models well worthy of attention by impressionbale female readers." Okay, now here is my opinion on that statement. I have read Jane Austen and I absolutely adore all of her novels (Mansfield Park I cannot speak for, I have never read it.) However, I find that her heroines are not to be admired. Take for instance, Anne Elliot in Persuasion who spends 8 years in a state of depression and makes her self ugly because she made a mistake. Or Elizabeth Bennett in Pride and Prejudice, who is much to prejudiced to even hear Mr. Darcy's side of the story. And don't forget Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey who almost scares herself to death romantizing every little detail in an old house just because she has read too much. Then there is Marianne Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility who is so concerned with dying for love that she can't see that the man of her dreams is right in front of her face and she falls in love with some jerk. And last, but not least, Elinor Dashwood, Marianne's elder sister, who closes up her emotions inside and because of that eventually snaps. Jane Eyre, on the other hand is a heroine to be admired, for she shows us all that even in the worst situations of life (which she experienced) you can still be strong. Jane Austen's characters may live the fairytale "happily ever after" life, but they do not prove as strong as Jane Eyre in the least.
