Really? I have heard of the book but had no idea! That's going on my reading list!Little Hero wrote:I had to read Jane Eyre for my English course, I thoroughly enjoyed it and would happily read it again. If you liked Jane Eyre, you may like to read The Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, which tells the back story of Bertha Mason, Rochester's secret mad wife. I posted a review of it in the reviews section (won't let me post a direct link here!)
I am so glad that there are so many fans of this classic book out there. It is my favorite. It was recommended by my high school lit teacher and I make it a point to read it at least once a year. I love Jane's moral strength. The temptation to do wrong is so great, but she does what is right. And in the end, she is rewarded for it. Some might feel it is bogged down with too much about her growing up, but it is what makes her who she is.

I can understand that. The writing style isn't for everyone. It does get bogged down at times with a lot of description. And I think reading it for the first time, I didn't speed through it. But then I would get to a part that would grip me then I would plow through some of the slower parts to get to another interesting passage. Then after reading it many times, I learned to appreciate the slower parts too.KitKat_Reader wrote:I guess I will be the first to say that I honestly did not like this book one bit. To me the story wasn't very interesting or gripping and she would go on and on detailing one thing for like 4 or 5 pages. Don't get me wrong, I love detail but it was just too much for me. If you love this book more power to you, but this is just one I couldn't get in to which honestly doesn't happen very often.

The actress, Ruth Wilson, who characterizes the title character will forever be my Jane Eyre. Her performance was absolutely stelar.
The series is currently rated at a very respectable 8.5 at Internet Movie Database. I'm sure that the entire series is available on disk and I heartily recommend it to you with confidence that you will enjoy it.
I dare you not to enjoy this excerpt... I DARE you *LOL*
