Fantastic! Difficukt to read throught rhe experiences if young Jane, but those left me rooting for her. The gothic elements were entertaining. The end was bitter sweet, which is nice, but i really wanted a happier ending for all the main characters than i got! Couldnt put this down. Read it in a few days!

Beautifully written. A masterpiece of true love and its resilience. I will have to read this a few times. That’s what kind of book this is. It takes ahold of the mind and soul. Love books like these! Must read!

I remember my mother telling me this was her favorite book growing up, so I knew I needed to get to it. I'd seen an old movie of Jane Eyre years ago with Orson Welles...all I remember of that was a fire. Oh, there's a lot more to it than that. It's definitely of its time -- the morality of Jane's motivation would be so uncommon today. And the religious tones seem at little extreme -- especially as it relates to one character, St. John.

Anyway, the fact that Jane continues to call Rochester, "Sir" and "Master" throughout the entire book are a little disturbing in our age of equality and so forth.

But, all in all, this is a good story with great characters and a rich setting. I'm glad I finally got around to reading it.
