Honestly one of the first classics I read this far, I really liked Jane but as soon as they got together the tensions was gone for me and I didn’t like the male character enough (or at all lol) to keep going

Loved the book. Althought it's victorian writing, the english isn't too bad.
I think a lot happens in this book, everytime you think you know where the story is going, something new happens. The writing changes with the events, so that makes it interesting as well.
I loved reading the background information and multiple interpretations of the book. It gives it context and makes it an even better read.

This book is the definition of perfection

A classic that is worth the read, despite the slow pace. Jane is a modern heroine, out of step with the times she is living (and was written) in - her innate self worth is refreshing.  She’s not as mild as Fanny Price, but not as fiery as Catherine Earnshaw.  I suppose she’d do well in Lizzie Bennet’s company.  I liked her, esp considering her young age.  The 2 main male characters were less likable, although I must say I prefer Rochester to Rivers.  Please note that this is not a romance - it is more of a coming of age story of a young orphaned girl making her own way to independent womanhood.  And I feel that in our current age where our youth are all questioning their sense of identity and exposed to so much that can easily erode their character, this should be required reading.
