Jane Eyre - 5 stars, still love it
Wuthering Heights - 1 star, still hate it
Agnes Gray - 3.5 stars, first reading, the characters didn't grip me in the same way Jane Eyre's did, but it kept my attention. Probably won't be a big reread though

I love Jane Eyre and as this was my second read-through of it, I still found it just as engaging and wonderful of a story (if not a little long-winded at times). However, I gave this book two stars because Jane Eyre is as far as my enjoyment went. Wuthering Heights, though interesting enough, has to be one of the most most dramatic books I've ever read. The few main characters are so dramatic over everything I couldn't help but be annoyed as I was reading it. I can't say I regret reading it but I definitely won't be reading it again! As for Agnes Grey, the entire book is rather rambling and ends so abruptly it left me feeling extremely unsatisfied. Have to say I do kind of regret reading that, though the style of writing is more pleasing to that Wuthering Heights. So, basically, I highly recommend Jane Eyre, advise you only read Wuthering heights if you want to be party to a ridiculous amount if drama, and can't really say much on the topic of Agnes Grey considering I have to go imagine a better ending to satisfy myself after reading it.

I believe I gave Jane Eyre a 3.5, but I’m giving Wuthering Heights a 4.5. I’m cutting my review of the entirety of the book straight down the middle.
Jane Eyre’s storyline was interesting enough, but I felt it was a little too long and a little too hard to follow. I found myself getting bored at times. However, Jane and Rochester’s love story was great. I loved the ending.
Wuthering Heights was awesome. Gothic through and through. Not many likable characters in this one, and whether or not Nelly was wholly reliable is yet to be seen. Was Heathcliff really as bad as she made him out to be? (Don’t take this as me saying that he wasn’t bad, because he definitely was lol). Was Cathy Jr. as good as Nelly claimed? (Also debatable imo). Heathcliff and Catherine were toxic af, as individuals and as a possible couple. I even liked the dash of supernatural here, too. Good stuff. Hareton is my sweet little summer child who I just want to hug for eternity. I loved how Emily Bronte turned the characterizations on their heads multiple times throughout. Am I supposed to feel sorry for Heathcliff or contempt? How about for Linton? How about Isabella and Edgar?
Overall, both of these books are highly recommended if you’re in the right headspace for them. They do take a lot of concentration and patience with the older English, but they’re both worthwhile and classics for a reason. ❤️

There is no doubt the Bronte sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne were talented writers of their time, and their famous works have only gained popularity since their publication over two centuries ago. Full review: https://robyntocker.weebly.com/bronte-sisters-three-novels.html

Thoroughly enjoyed Jane Eyre. Can't say the same for The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.
