I'm such a huge fan of Jane Eyre, and I'm not sure why this book just didn't grab me. I am very pro Rochester-is-trash, but I don't think I liked seeing him as like a disgusting predator. I guess because I really like Jane, and I don't want to think that she ended up with just a true sack of moldy potatoes. I would like to give this author another attempt though, because I may have just come in with too many of my own feelings on the original text!
