Sul voto pesa anche tutta la delusione post lettura, ma c'è poco da fare: l'idea di una Jane Eyre in versione moderna mi aveva entusiasmato tantissimo, ma quello che ho trovato fra queste pagine mi ha fatto cascare le braccia... Primo: non mi è piaciuto lo stile di disegno, l'ho trovato troppo grossolano e inespressivo, ma questa è una questione soggettiva. Ecco una cosa per me invece oggettiva,: il racconto è superficiale. Si ripesca la storia originale, con le dovute modifiche, ma non si fa nessuno sforzo per renderla interessante, dando per scontato che con una base così solida, quale è la storia originale, basti fare due o tre aggiustamenti e il successo è assicurato. Ecco, no. Tutti i personaggi sono privi di fascino e carisma, il mistero è molto poco interessante (e pure abbastanza ridicolo), e certe cose accadono semplicemente per far quadrare il tutto con la storia originale, ma nel nuovo contesto... stonano. Per me, bocciatissimo.
I liked it but it went the route of a happy ending for a book that never had one. Beautifully drawn though
In this adaptation of Jane Eyre set in New York, beautiful blonde Jane falls for slitty eyed, Ken doll Rochester. Rochester is cold, mysterious and mostly absent, Jane is turned on (hints of Fifty Shades?). Of course being a billionaire doesn't hurt his desirability. Other than Rochester, I did love the art, but this version just reduces Jane Eyre to a modern romance, as in the cheap Harlequin kind.

This was a fun read, in a way, but the it had a whacking twist from the original that—well—made no sense. I also think I have yet to appreciate graphic novels. I want way more depth than what the genre generally provides. The art was interesting and pretty, though, that’s for sure.

Really not a great adaptation. :\ What a shame. It could have been great.
As a longstanding love of mine is Jane Eyre, this graphic novel was easy to love. The graphics are fantastic and it took me WAY TOO LONG to finally get that this was a Jane Eyre retelling. Honest. Kinda embarrassing. This modern retelling is simple and fun, creating that familiar warmth the original brings.
It was just meh. It wasn’t good it wasn’t bad. It was just okay. The story itself was somewhat interesting but some points it just felt so far fetched.
