Summary: "Her coming was my hope each day her parting was my pain"
Review: "The truest love that ever heart felt at it's kindled core, did through each vein in quickened start, the tide of being pour. Her coming was my hope each day, her parting was my pain; The chance that did her steps delay was ice in every vein. I dreamed it would be nameless bliss, As I loved,loved to be: and to this object did I press as blind as eagerly. But wide as pathless was the space that lay our lives between, and dangerous as the foamy race of ocean surges green. And haunted as a robber-path through wilderness or wood; For might and right, and woa and wrath, between our spirits stood.
Well that's all that I can remember of the little song Rochester sang to Jane. I realy love the book. I cried when Helen Burns died, and I cried when Thornfield was a ruin, and I Laughed at how [bad] Wuthering Heights [is]! I even made started puting CBJE on my notebook. Which stands fo Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre. I totaly recomend it, but you will cry trust me.

Summary: Jane Eyre
Review: This book is probably my favorite that I have ever read. The story is about a young governess who grew up as a neglected orphan. When she moves to the home of Rochester, her life takes quite a turn. Charlotte Bronte's writing style is sound, engaging, and beautiful. The heroine is easy to relate to and displays a strong, ... character. This book is passionate, romantic, mysterious, exciting, and altogether wonderful! I highly recommend it.

Summary: Raging emotions, strident feminism...COOL!
Review: JANE EYRE is a novel of destroyed conventions. At nearly each and every turn within its pages, there is some rule, some assumption of character and plot destroyed. In JANE EYRE, women fight back against tyrannical husbands, governesses 'look above their stations', mothers are absent and men are punished for their subjugation of women. Not content to only poke at society through the safety of a fictional character, Bronte also confronts literary conventions, constructing JANE EYRE as a Bildungsroman about a WOMAN, and an UNATTRACTIVE woman to boot. Is nothing sacred? NO. And this is what makes JANE EYRE such a wonderful read. Looking for just great wit, nascent feminism and in general a pretty good story addled with a few boring inanities about day-to-day life? Go buy a Jane Austen novel. JANE EYRE is nearly the antithesis of orderly Austen, a passionate display of feelings and emotions that would have made Austen's EMMA blush, a full-blown rebellion against the societal constraints upon women.

"Women are supposed to be very calm generally: but women feel just as men feel; they need exercise for their faculties...they suffer from too rigid a restraint, too absolute a stagnation, precisely as men would suffer; and it is narrow-minded in their more privileged fellow creatures to say that they ought to confine themselves..." Within these few scathing lines is contained almost the entire sociological crux of the novel. For Jane, though outwardly calm as "women are supposed to be", is often raging inside at various acts of injustice perpetrated upon her. Sometimes she releases her feelings and vents, other times she swallows it "as women are supposed to" do. At this period of time, women in the upper class were mostly ornaments. When men spoke of their accomplishments, they meant things like a woman's ability to speak French, or her grace while playing a piano. Her business acumen would most likely not be counted an accomplishment, but a detraction, a manifestation of too spirited a personality, or too lively a mind. Hopeful mammas made sure that their little girls learned all the correct dances, could play an instrument and sing, or embroider, NOT complete ledgers. Bronte is urging that her fellow women not be confined to the pursuit of such activities, but allowed to exercise their minds and emotions in whatever direction they might want to...and in 1841!

It's a wild ride that never ceases to be entertaining. Don't miss JANE EYRE.

Summary: Take a hike Blanche Ingram! This book neads only one heroine
Review: This book is the best book I have ever read. I mean what more could a girl want out of a book. ... Jane Eyre is the only book that made me cry, made me never want to finish it, and it was my best friend. After I read it, I felt as If I lived her life, and felt her pain. THis book is so much better than Wuthering Heihghts. Read this a million times, and I promise that not once, you will get tired of it. *Not once* So after you get this message, go out ... and buy this book! If you don't it will be the *BIGGEST* mistake that you could possibly make ... but this is a *realy GOOD book*

Summary: My favorite novel of all time
Review: Jane Eyre is a classic in every sense of the word. I read it when I was in seventh grade and have read again at least once a year and I'm now in 12th grade. Each time I read it, I understand it better and the love and depth of emotions of Jane and Mr. Rochester becomes so overwhelming. When I saw that 3rd and seventh graders were reading it and finding it "odd" at times, and boring perhaps, it's because of the age thing. You've got to wait a few years and read it again. Trust me, after all those idiotic teen movies, you'll develop a priceless love for Jane Eyre. The only book I've ever found that was so harshly honest and real was Gone With the Wind. And that book I really don't recommend to young readers. I've once saw a reviewer say Jane Eyre wasn't original at all and the parts that were original were bad. I can't possibly fathom how J.E. isn't original. This book is one of the few books in the world where a normal, poor, average girl finds love that usually happens to supermodel types (Dickens was a big fan of the supermodel love). Jane's life has been anything been peachy, but she has the courage and determination to make the most of everything and let bygones be bygones, and she does. If anyone deserves love like Jane and Edward's, it's the both of them. And even in books and movies of the 21st century you'll rarely see a girl as independent as Jane. For an experience never to be forgotten, read Jane Eyre.

Summary: Monotonous at times
Review: I first tried to read this book in 3rd grade. I got through 200 pages but couldn't take any more.
Now I'm going into 7th grade, and I've actually read it. This book really isn't that reader-friendly, and you have to (really)force yourself through some parts. But the rewards are great. Right after those long, monotonous sequences are over, you'll run into a really unexpected twist in the storyline that will shock you.
I can understand why people give this book bad ratings, but in my opinion, the highs are worth the lows.

Summary: A quite intresting book
Review: This book is about Jane who is an orphan. When she grew up she found a job as a governess at Thornfield and fall in love with Mr. Rochester, who kept a terrible secret.Maybe it's because I'm only 10 years old,but I found this book rather [odd] and not very romantic at all

The whole needs to read it.

P.S after you read this book, see the Zelah Clarke, and Timothy Daltom movie version, of Jane Eyre, not the Whilliam Hurt one.
Thanks for Reading!

Summary: The Greatest Novel Ever
Review: Words simply can't express how much I love this book. I have Three different copies of the book, I own all of the movie versions that I could find of it (Four, as of now). To say that I am a fan is a huge understatement.
Jane is such a great character, a survivor in every sense of the word. She loves her man, but he doesn't own her, no no! She's her own woman, and she makes sure that he knows it. One of my favorite scenes of the book is when Edward is trying to force gifts on Jane, and she gets increasingly annoyed about it. He sees that she is upset and tries to sweet talk her, but she brushes him off completely. You go girl.
The emotions in this story are gut wrenching, especially the scene after the botched wedding ceremony. I feel for Jane and understand her despair, but I weep openly for Edward. All he has ever wanted in life is to find someone he can love who will love him back, and just when he finds her she's ripped away. Oh, my! I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it!
READ THIS BOOK!
