The writing is wonderful, the plot extremely dramatic, the protagonist someone who's prefrontal cortex has not fully developed. I can appreciate this novel intellectually, but I'm certainly not its intended audience.

*3.5*
Read for uni.

I read this as part of my English literature a-level and all I can say is that I’ve never read a book as boring as this in my whole life.

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me"  

Jane came from nothing, and has no one and longs for love and acceptance.

This is the classic Victorian novel written in perfect Bronte style. As far as I'm concerned Jane Eyre and [b:Villette|31173|Villette|Charlotte Brontë|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1320412741l/31173._SY75_.jpg|40852693] are two of the best Victorian novels I have read. 

As most novels from the time, there is a deep religious tone and a hard look at social class.
