Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
3.0
Meh. Coming to this immediately after reading Rebecca was a big let down. Compared to Pride and Prejudice, the writing is not nearly as beautiful.
The story was just kinda lame...ugly girl who reads a lot has no friends, falls in love with first man she meets, he's a bad boi, then his wife conveniently dies, then she conveniently becomes rich, then they live happily ever after.
There was some other dumb stuff too. Like what, you are telling me she'd rather starve to death than just visit her uncle? I just wasn't engaged in any of this.
I had to try a couple narrators for this one...Josephine Bailey was very mediocre, but Thandie Newton was pretty good.
