One of best books ever written - By: Laurajojo, 10 Apr 2008
This is one of my favourite books & one I constantly re-read. I love alll the characters, especiallly the way they are neither beautiful or perfect people. But the main reason I love this book is the character of Rochester & the way he loves Jane. He is definitely my favourite hero of alll time.
Jane Eyre - By: Nicole M, 30 Mar 2008
My mom recommended that I read this book because it is a classic romance & I love Pride & Prejudice & Emma which are the same genre. My mom was right.
Jane is a likable character because she is so brave & head strong & through out the whole second half of the book I was mentallly screaming at her to go back to Mr Rochester. I mean, who cares that he is already married.
A bit frustrating how I didn't get what I wanted until the last few chapters & how she was actuallly thinking of marrying St John.
Recommend it highly.
Now alll I need to do is to watch the film.

the best love lines in history? - By: Moth to a flame, 07 Mar 2008
I've just read & re-read & re-read again this fabulous book after many years alongside the Wide Sargasso Sea for a book club I belong to.
Try out page 250 for some of the best love lines ever written - who couldn't love Rochester after his proposal, even if he plays games with Jane? I'd forgotten how humourous & fun some of the dialogue is between them - this is at heart a happy & hopeful book, & not half as gothic as Wuthering Heights. Jane's best words are the speech she says in her own head 'I care for myself...'.This is a female character who is unafraid to love passionately but maintains her integrity & keeps her faith & humanity intact by the end of the book. Ditch the cynic & let the words flow over you.
My all time favourtie - By: V. Mundell, 17 Feb 2008
This was the first "grown up" book that i ever read & i still re-read it now 13 years on. It is a tale that has everything you could want from a novel & truly is a classic. Unlike her sister emily, charlotte bronte does not bog down the story with too many words so this is more readable than the complicated (albeit brilliant) wuthering heights. I did not take to charlotte bronte's other novels but this one i would recommend to everyone. If you have not read this book then i feel you are missing out.
not very good - By: Ana C. Mackenzie, 15 Feb 2008
After hearing alll the talk about this book i was expecting something a bit more pleasing to the mind.
Jane seemed like a perfectly nice girl, but she has an annoying way of thinking that she is the one with alll the brains in the book.
I did not like the way that charlotte bronte wrote the order of events that happened in the story.
All in alll, very dissapointing.
