Note: There is definitely some expression of views towards race within this book which is unfortunately not uncommon in books written during this time period/within English literature. It’s a shame as it is not at all relevant or necessary to the plot of the book.

It wasn't really a book after my taste as I'm not much of a romance reader, and my taste in books is quite different to this one. I enjoy fast-paced, plot-driven stories, and Jane Eyre is a slow-paced novel that is mostly character-driven. We follow Jane through a portion of her life and we get to know the people and the environment around her during this time. I could enjoy this book if I had related to Jane more, but I felt quite distant to her most of the time, despite this book being formatted as an autobiography.

So putting those things aside, I’d say it was a very readable classic. I really loved Jane as a character. Young Jane kind of reminded me of Anne Shirley which was really fun. And the story was definitely interesting, but it kind of lost me in the end so I knocked a star off for that.
Overall, if you’re looking for a classic to read, this one wasn’t too challenging and I found it quite interesting!
Moderate: Mental illness and Racism
It was written in the 1800's so it is full of classism, racism and harmful stereotypes. I know this is a product of the time it was written, but I still found it quite jarring at times.rini's review against another edition
