Book Reviews of Jane Eyre (Signet Classics)
Book Review: A good classic, but I've seen better
Summary: 4 Stars
---In Charlotte Bronte's classic JANE EYRE, the title character is a strong willed woman who undergoes many hardships and trials, but eventually comes out triumphant. This book is a mixed one for me. I appriciate the classic nature of this story, and I like the heroine, but there is just a self righteous tone to the entire book. ---- Jane Eyre was raised by her terrible and cruel aunt who cares not a wick for her. This was possibly her earliest hardship, yet she persevered the tough childhood years, and becomes even stronger when her aunt puts her in a terrible boarding school. Eventually, she takes a position as a nanny in the house of a rich man where she finds what it is to be loved.------ The problem I had with this story was the "love" between the rich man and Jane Eyre. I didn't feel that the Rochester and Jane loved one another at all, but rather had a need to have control over another person, and they provided one another with this powerful position. They both seemed veryBook Review: A great book, I can't do it justice
Summary: 5 Stars
Jane Eyre is definitely the best book ever. It's such a wonderful change from the sensible writings of Jane Austen. This book has stuff for everybody; passion, love, mystery. You'll be swept away by the scenes, and like Jane, will fall for the mysterious, brooding Mr. Rochester. Even if you generally don't like reading, you should give this one a try. It will change your view of the classics forever!Book Review: Jane Eyer, An All Time Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Charolette Bronte never seces to amaze me. she seems to bring her characters to life, as they jump off the page and into you head. After reading Jane Eyer, you will find yourself constantly wondering how she is doing. This book will follow you wherever you go, and unconcesly haunt you mind. It is an ultimate classic that everyone must read! What makes this book so great? Charolette Brontes wonderful skill, of making the characters so real, is what makes this book a classic. She describes Jane in such a way, that everyone can find a bit of themselves in her, and often can relate to her thoughts, and her feelings. Her inocence, just seems to surround her. She has such a pure love, a pure want, and yet she is so inocent, that we long to be like her. Her inteligence and pride, add to her, and make her a prominent figure in our minds. With out Charolette Bronte's wonderful depiction of Jane, this book would not be near as powerful as it is now. The romance in this novel, makes you wan to reach out and hug Jane. You wan tto tell her that everything will be all right, and with the hard life that she had suffered through, when she finds love, you want to cry for her. As the Climax of the book arrives, you find yourself reading, with a tear sliding slowly down you cheek. You feel you eyes fill up as you want to weep with her. YOu want her to know you are there. with out the romance, that touches your heart, this book could not be the same, and would not touch the heart in the same way. The simplicity of theh plot, helps to make the book a hit. If this book were not simple and plain, it would become a bore, but it is nothing more than a young girls life, as she grows, her terrible treatment from her aunt, her schooling, and her first love. This book is so simple that it is almost amazing.
Clearly this book is wondeful. You will find your self reading it over and over again! I suggest it to all of those who enjoy a good romance, with lots of love and hope!Book Review: Not a book for the average male!
Summary: 2 Stars
While there are wonderful characters and a somewhat clever plot, this book gets very boring! The main thrill of the novel is just a written account of most girls' dream of becoming the wife of a man to whom they are truly in love (OK, so Jane had some hardships along the way too...;-)). Of course, Jane is very independent and has no exceptionally good looks, so the story may be considered an inspiration to the female culture's wish of being respected for what is inside...? I found it an inspiration to go to bed a little sooner.Book Review: A complete bore
Summary: 1 Stars
This book should not be placed in the same class with other "classic" authors who deserve their place. This book is a bore, the main character is a whiny cry-baby and the book goes nowhere for a long time. Jane has a very thick skull and all the obvious things fly over her head. This book should not be a classic, and I do not understand why it is one.
