Jane Eyre

Charlotte Brontë

4.11 AVERAGE


The beginning was slow, the middle was boring (including the supposed romantic part) and the end was horrifying(not in a good way). I gave it 2 stars because at least I had no idea where this story was going or how it was going to end.

One of my faves...I can't help it!

Boring

The last 20% of this book was very good and I very much enjoyed it. Zaara I won’t spoil anything I promise. I definitely do think I recognized a few themes and I’m gonna do some research now so I’m in tip top shape for group discussion. I understand how this was a classic and I certainly felt for Jane and was rooting for her the entire book. First half was a bore but I’m sure catrette will enlighten me in some fashion about how important it was or something. I do think Jane’s trauma from her gos awful family definitely played a role in all of Jane’s decisions and it made her insecure and doubt in several cases of the book. Fun book
