Review: Jane Eyre by Jane Bronte

I don’t typically review the fiction I read, but since this is a classic, I thought I’d share my thoughts.

The storyline of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë was excellent. Although I remember watching the movie at some point in my life, so I knew some of the climactic moments in the story, I was sucked in and really enjoyed the character interactions and the turmoil Jane endured.

However, the amount of description in the book is over the top. I was left with no doubt as to the color of the third rose on the bush half a mile away. Maybe that was Brontë’s point. The amount of description made the interesting moments in the story seem a long time coming.

I truly enjoyed this audio version of the novel. The narrator did a great job of changing her voice for each character consistently, and her emotional inflection was spot on. I could feel Jane’s angst, joy, and sorrow.

I am so glad I pushed through and finished this book. I am also glad this is not one I assigned in my literature class. I don’t think I would’ve heard the end of it!
