 I enjoyed this much more than I expected to. I found it to be slow paced for the first portion, but once the plot began the pacing improved. The language wasn't as inaccessible than other classics I have read, but still full of large descriptive prose regarding nature that I thought was unnecessary and repetitive at times.

My biggest issue was how the "love triangle" aged, having Jane choose to marry either a man "old enough to be her father" or her cousin

I had never read Jane Eyre all the way through until now. Such a beautifully written book - Charlotte Bronte’s writing is so evocative, and there are so many gems of dialogue between her characters. The reader is attached to Jane Eyre from the start, a reliable and worthy narrator of her story.

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.
