Summary: agnes grey
Review: The book with a perfect starting and a happy end.The language of the book is simply wonderful,but the charecter of Agnes mother and sister deserve some more space in the book there is so little about them in the book but they dominate the hole story,without them the story is never be told
Rating: 
Summary: Alright, though not the same genius as her sisters
Review: The danger about Agnes Grey is that one tends to compare the author with her sisters. Anne's novel covers neither the psychological grounds of Emily's Wuthering Heights, nor does it contain the plot devices and personal tone of Charlotte's work. As a 19th century novel, it's a fine piece of work - as a novel from a Bronte, it leaves something to be desired.

Summary: Agnes Grey is magnificent
Review: The feeling with which this book is written is absolutely superb. Knowing that in real life Anne's lover died, it's even more painful to read what Agnes says about her marriage, how happy she is. Furthermore it gives an excellent view into the victorian households where governesses were forced to live. I agree with George Moore who said that Agnes Grey was the 'best prose narrative in English literature'!

Summary: a good read!
Review: The language in Anne Bronte's book is much lighter than the works found in her sisters' works. Although most often being criticized as not having as much of a literary talent as her sisters, I think that if readers read this book with their heart, they will be able to appreciate the beauty of this novel. I myself find this book a very delightful read, though I can't deny that it's sad at the same time to know that how governess at that time was being so ill-treated by the family. Knowing that Anne has drawn quite a lot of her personal experience of being a governess herself into this work makes me appreciate this work and love this book even more.

Summary: WELL WORTH YOUR TIME
Review: This first of two novels from the youngest and least-known Bronte sister, it is an eye-opening account of the career of a governess, the only respectable job for middle-class single women in the mid-1800s. True, the style of writing is quite different from Charlotte & Emily, but it is still worth your time. Anne based events and characters in this book on her failed career as a governess for two families in Yorkshire. A very satisfying work, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
