I know that my review of this is insanely biased because I read it for summer reading before junior year of high school when I detested reading, but I will never forgive Ms Brontë for spendings 3 pages describing a staircase. Oops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Frustrating 

I found the book most interesting. I had moments of bewilderment, languidly, anguish, and depressing moments. As well as benign atonement and amazing images, and reactions. The plot was amazing the fact that we see Jane eyre go through such dramatic changes in just a few chapters… wonderful. I will admit I am not much of a old novel fan but I am a romance fan and I really enjoyed this book. Jane marrying Rochester in the end was the best; I had my doubts when he was introduced but Brontë proved that Jane and Edward Rochester belong together.

4,25 STARS:
Forgot to update this but it was genuinely such a fun read. The drama was real. Most characters sucked as people but they were so entertaining I didn't care. Mr. Rochester was a weird and awful man, but also such a drama queen LMAO.

Charlotte Bronte is a brilliant sensationalist, but perhaps the true brilliancy of her book lies in the fact that it is a political statement without being blatantly so. She offers commentary on the division of social classes, feminism, and duty to God vs. duty to self. Jane Eyre to me is an admirable embodiment of spirited independence and passion balanced with self-respect and conscience.
