Mr. Rochester by Sarah Shoemaker
3.0

2.5 Stars

When I first came upon this novel, I wasn't interested. "Jane Eyre" is one of my favorite novels and I doubted the author had anything to add, especially after being unimpressed with other authors' similar attempts with other revered novels. However, another reader, whom I occasionally follow, highly recommend this book, and I thought to give it a try.

I found the first two-thirds of the novel to be a good attempt at what might have been the upbringing and early life of Edward Rochester. However, once Jane came upon the scene, I almost instantly became uninterested--kind of a strange reaction--so I skipped and skimmed to the end.
