THIS WAS AMAZING and, look, I know I'm not the first person to say that because this is one of the best loved classics of all time, but, truly, this book devoured me. I want to inject it directly into my veins. The yearning is what really got me--if anyone has recommendations for similar reads, please, please, please, give them to me.

Also, P.S. 
Fuck you to my Junior Year English Teacher in High School who taught this book so atrociously and made me hate it actively. I could have fallen in love TWELVE YEARS AGO with this book.

slow-paced

I really enjoyed this. Jane Eyre as a character is really easy to root for and the story has a gripping moody atmosphere. The middle portion of the story almost feels like a thriller as well because it's so gripping and tense. I also loved the prose in this.

Good start, had to get through a slow middle section, but the last 200 pages were GREAT

3.5

le livre est bien mais beaucoup trop de longueurs, 760 pages pour ce genre d’histoire c’est beaucoup trop

I'm usually a fan of the classics and enjoy reading them. Jane Eyre was an exception. I felt like the story moved very slowly, which lead to me laying the book down and walking away for days at a time.
