Fue recomendación de mi mejor amiga, un excelentísimo libro. Lo disfruté bastante.
Hay muchas razones por las que este libro es ser 5 estrellas.
La verosimilitud de la protagonista y los demas personajes
La escritura es magnifica, describiendo detalladamente pero sin ser agobiante.
Las sorpresas, yo pensaba que iba a ser otra cosa y me encuentro con este libro que tiene ... Bueno ocurren muchas mas cosas de lo que me imaginaba.
La historia en si, bueno hay cosas que me han disgustado, me gustaría que
Spoiler
Jane no se casara con el primer amor de su vida. Mr Rochester sabe esto, pero ella no. Creo que el se aprovecha de que ella no sabe mas de lo poco que ha visto.
Quiza mas cariño al prójimo (tienen a una mujer atrapada en el ático) y menos hablar de religion.
Menos superioridad inglesa. Que es eso de que "le quitamos las peores partes del carácter frances" hablando de la educación de Adelle.
Pero las cosas que me gustarían son mas bien defectos de Jane, que ya hemos visto que no es perfecta de todas formas, y no creo que debiera bajarle la valoración al libro porque me parezca que el protagonista no actúa inteligentemente.

I'm so happy I picked up this audio book, if I had to have sit and read this book I don't think I would have made it through.
The description and detail are overwhelming yet beautiful. To hear them described to me in a lyrical way that isn't spoken anymore was wonderful, yet I know if I had read these words they would have been skimmed over and lost to me, I know my own attention span!
This is not a love story, it is more an autobiography told in story fashion with a love story at it's center. It's important to remember that Jane was never looking for love, she accepted her lot in life as someone who has no-one and is just looking for her little place in life. Once she finds love and has it ripped away from her, she must again learn to live for herself and stay true to her beliefs and virtues.
I've never seen or read any other adaptation of this story so I was able to experience this with no idea of the end.
While it took me a little longer to appreciate it and get through the story, I must say I did love it. I will be adding other classics to my list of want to read and hope I can enjoy them at least half as much.

**Warning: this text may contain spoilers** Ok - I confess now - this is my Desert Island book of all time. I've read it over 10 times now. I read it at about 12, fell in love with Mr Rochester, did it for O level (yip I'm that old) and loved Jane's independent spirit. Every time I read it I get something different and the older I get the more I see in it. I still think Jane is a sound heroine with principles (yes many based on Christianity)but even that has subtleties - like rejecting St. John (very high morals) for the passion and flaws of Mr Rochester. As I've got older Bertha has become more and more important to me as a character too (also influenced by The Wide Sargasso Sea). I do now get irritated with Rochester's attempt at making Jane jealous and find it very hard to forgive his manipulative ways but Jane finds her way. The reunion at the end always melts my heart. Most of all though I love Jane's spirit - from childhood to adulthood she makes her own decisions and I always feel she is a strong and independent heroine - would love to have met Charlotte Bronte to see how autobiographical it really is (her love affair, her family relationships and sibling deaths).
