Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
5.0
Dear lord, why didn't I read this book sooner?
Clearly, one of the best reading experiences there can be is when you find a book that makes you express yourself physically while reading. And this definitively happened while I was reading Jane Eyre. Every time I felt outraged, or filled with warn feelings or completely desperate for things to work out, my body of its own volition had to let out a scream, hit my reading table or just get the goofiest smile on. Reading Jane Eyre feels like that.
What I specially like about this novel is how real it treats life. Jane Eyre is very aware of her position in the world and how it works, and never aspires to more than she thinks she deserves, or that she'll get. And everything that happens to Jane, and the rest of the characters as well, is very real as well. From the happiest moments to the most miserable times. And it's very refreshing to find that. It's a very honest book.
I also loved how, despite everything that happened, she always stayed true to her own, passionate self. I find that a very hard mission in life, and I admire her for that.
In other words, this is my new favorite book. Also, please go read it.
