blodeuedd's review against another edition
2.0
In the end I wasn't that impressed by this one. The artwork worked fine for me. Though I do feel that Rochester was too handsome, and St: John was too plain looking.
I love Jane Eyre, the book is glorious. But here it fell short for me. In this version they had crammed in all that "old" long speech in the speech-bubbles. And honestly it was just too much. I'd rather just read it in a book. But they have a different version were they have toned it down, I do think that would have worked better for me. Now it was just those big bubbles and sometimes I didn't know how to follow them, when they moved back and fort.
I prefer the book very much to this one.
Though I do like this idea of making Jane Eyre to a graphic novel, and keeping with the real language. That is admirable.

This may be a classic but it also may be the book that took me the longest time ever to read. It took a while to get into it but I stuck with it because it was a classic. About half way through I became completely invested and really enjoyed the second half of the story.

Jane Eyre is one of my favorite classics. The GN is just as good as the story. It does leave out quite a bit, but still the gist is there. I do love the art work and it's how I would picture each of the characters.
I love me some Jane and Mr. Rochester.

It took me a little while to get into this book but once I did I loved it. I found myself wondering about the changes in society's perception of the institution of marriage has gone through over many years. I also thought a lot about women, how much has changed and how nothing has changed. Really glad I finally read this book.
