Jane Eyre

Rating:
Summary: A must read for any woman wanting to hear her own voice.
Review: I read Jane Eyre once in high school, once in college and just now, five years later. It is a wonderful example of a book that can be read over and over again and with each reading comes a new experience. Charlotte Bronte tells a formidible tale of one woman's intellect and passions which break across "custom" and "caste," to use Bronte's own words. Bronte wonderfully describes the inner voice of Jane which Jane instinctually values from a young age. It leads her to take extraordinary emotional risks. She does not allow herself to be shamed into behavior, nor does she shy away from her own desires and ideas. This is a book for ANY person, male or female of any color who likes a great mystery and a profound tale of human strength and experience

Summary: Liked it, but didn't love it.
Review: I was at first really absorbed in reading the parts that had to do with Jane's childhood. I did not miss a word of it. However, I found the parts after she became a governess a bit boring. I had a hard time with her falling head over heels with Mr. Rochester. He is too cold and self absorbed. Not the chivalrous hero of most fairy tales. His personality doesnt change one iota despite all of the things he has been through. I never ever see a resolve where he loves and accepts Adele. I thought that his indifference toward Adele was one of the things that TURNED JANE OFF about him!! Then she goes weak in the knees over him. I just found that really hard to digest. Yes, I know it's just a fiction, but the inconsistency of the woman who *seemed* to be consistent in her character threw me off.

Summary: Better for the older people
Review: This book has a very long, slow beginging but once you get into it, it gets interesting. In my opinion, you should just rent the movie. It goes a lot faster and you can understand it.

Review: I read the book JANE EYRE because it was the only book that was in my reading level in my 7th grade English class. At first it was confusing for me and all but as i finished reading the last 75 page it had a really kewl twist to it!

Summary: Profoudly riveting writing style, in a tale for all time.
Review: I read this in high school because I had to, now, 20 years later, I re-read it because I wanted to and what a difference. Charlotte Bronte's writing style is so wonderful, different and refreshing. Her descriptions are so vivid, I can see why she caused such controversy in her day! This novel is honest, compelling and Jane is way ahead of her time, as Charlotte must have been. This has sparked me to dive headfirst into more classics and see what truly makes them classic. I would really recommend this for summer vacation at the beach, or curled up in a storm.

Summary: My English teacher is a sadist!!!
Review: I have to read this book for English and I can't stand it. I struggle through about twenty pages at a time, and then drop the book in boredom. I think it is interesting that all the girls in my class have absolutely no problem with it. My judgement is not entirely fair because I despise romance novels, but unless you want a book where there is only one exciting scene, and a short one at that, avoid this book!!! If you are assigned this book, however, don't panic...there are always "Cliff's Notes" :)

Rating:
Summary: One of the best books ever written
Review: This is a great book because it depicts many different aspects of life. It shows Jane growing in many ways, and it is just over-all a wonderful, feel-good book.
