Review Summary: Wonderful!
Review: Jane Eyre is never a disappointment. Bronte really can touch your heart with the struggles of the main character. A woman in the post-modern era could have easily been in the same situation. Bronte put forth a completely time-less quality in this book. If you have the patience, it can keep you nailed to your seat!!

Review Summary: Beautifully Written
Review: This was my first Classic novel. While it was not fast-paced and begging to be read, it was a beautifully written novel. It was very lyrical. I thought the love between Jane and Mr. Rochester was true, withstanding the test of time. It was a truly romantic book, but not so easy to read because of the time period in which it was written. For instance, this is not a novel I would read in bed at night because I would fall asleep. Still, having said that, I am happy I read it and thought Charlotte Bronte was an exceptional novelist.

Review Summary: If you could rate this book negative stars, I would
Review: One of the worst books I have ever read in my entire life, Jane Eyre is an abomination to literature. It was extremely difficult to get through the book because not only was the plot an absolute bore, the characters also contributed to that boredom.
After reading the book twice, trying to comprehend what was the point of the story, I still have yet to understand why Charlotte Brontė even bothered writing this book. From what I can interpret, Jane Eyre is a girl who is lonely and dejected but finds love in a man called Mr. Rochester. Everything that happened in the middle is not significant. The story is extremely boring because it is too sentimental, too dull (just like Jane Eyre), and too long for a story with that plot line. What the characters say or do have no lasting effect in the reader's memory- it just blows right by. The characters are basic and have superficial, unoriginal motives. They do not do anything exciting or significant to help add to the plot. I kept skipping pages or rereading the same stuff because each and every page seems identical content-wise. The entire book has absolutely no memorable moments, proving how insignificant the work of literature truly is. Reading the book is a world of pain.
If you are thinking about picking up this book and reading, save yourself the time and money, and go read something else worthwhile.

Review Summary: Amazing
Review: Jane Eyre is, without a doubt, the most amazing book I have ever read. It is beautiful. We begin with a young Jane who lives with a cruel aunt and vile cousins. Soon she is sent to live at a school for children who have lost one or both parents.
When she is grown, she becomes a governess for a fan with a mysterious secret and they fall in love. After discovering a dark secret on their wedding day, however, she is forced to flee.
This book about love overcoming all obstacles. Genuine love, not infatuation.
