Summary: Romance and Mystery Collide!
Review: Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, is a thrilling romance novel. Set in England in the 1800s, this novel tells of the life of Jane Eyre. Jane is an orphan left in the care of her aunt, Mrs. Reed. At Gateshead, the Reed's estate, she lives a life of solitude and hate, mistreated and misunderstood by all. At the age of ten, she is sent to grim Lowood school, a reformatory school for orphans. Her years at Lowood are gloomy and dull, and she has few friends. When she is 18, she advertises as a governess, and finds a job at Thornfield Hall. Thornfield is all she ever wanted; there she is happy and loved, until a twist of fate and a long kept secret find her once more in peril. This novel is very romantic and heart warming. Charlotte Bronte has a knack for making her characters and situations seem real. At times I felt as though I were right there with Jane, sharing her hopes and dreams. I found this book to be interesting and fun to read, although at times it became drawn out. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romance novels with wonderful characters, settings, and situations.

Summary: The best book I'll ever read!
Review: This book is a wonderful story. It is a real page-turner. I couldn't put it down. Charlotte Bronte does awesome discriptions. I recomend this book to everyone who likes most classics. I wish people still wrote books this good. I guess you could call this book a trying-to-find-your-place-in-the-world story. Jane is totally amazing! Even if I am only 11, I can understand what Ms. Bronte is talking about.

Summary: Disliking a classic novel
Review: Ladies and gentlemen, readers of all ages, I express my sheer condolences if I offend anyone from what I am about to write: The novel Jane Eyre, I thought, was boring to the extent that I would often drift asleep while reading it. Although I am not use to a story that does not go straight to the conflict, I believe this story was on going. There is some excellent imagery, and metaphorical aspects in the story, but only that can not save this narrative. If you are a person that loves a romantic setting with certain twists every now and then, this is the book for you.

Summary: An enduring & endearing classic
Review: JANE EYRE is one of my favorite Victorian novels. The feistiness and lovableness of Jane has never faded for me, even after several readings. My favorite passages from the text are those when Jane leaves Rochester and ends up at Marsh End; and when she is "called" by Rochester from afar and flees to return to him. Charlotte Bronte's writing of these passages is raw with emotion and unforgettable. If you have not yet taken the time to read this outstanding piece of Victorian fiction, do so now. You won't regret it.

Summary: Sweet
Review: This book surpirsed me. There are way too many "classics" that are dreary and depressing and make a person feel so empty when finished. But not this one. The happy ending sealed this book as one of my favorites. Sometimes I go back and read the ending just to relieve the emotions I felt the first time. I would recommend this book to anyone!

Summary: Timely Feminist Tale of Love and Overcoming fears
Review: A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I'll never regret the day I accepted his suggestion and got this book. A beloved classic, which I have never in my life heard of, has become my favorite book of all time. Better than Danielle Steel. Better than Stephen King. These are the books that will last for ages to come.Not to mention, this edition of Jane Eyre has a fabulous introduction, very worth reading.

Summary: A beautiful, heart-warming, heroic story for ages to come
Review: I just finished reading "Jane Eyre" for my grade twelve English class. I borrowed the book from my school library. About four chapters into the book, I returned the novel to the library, and went out that night to get my own copy. I cannot express in words how this novel has touched my heart. The musical nor the movie will never ever return the stirring of emotion that I felt for Jane's character while reading it from the creative and romantic mind of Charlotte Bront? I did cry when Jane witnessed the death of her very best friend, Helen Burns, in Lowood School. I felt bitter and angry when Mr. Rochester did not tell Jane about his first wife, but I also felt relieved when Jane and Mr. Rochester rekindled their love to face a new life together. If there is one novel that will ever touch my heart, look at my life as a woman, and respect the heroics that women of past ages have undergone, this is the novel. Jane Eyre: this will be a novel respected for ages to come.
