Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye
3.0
"Reader, I murdered him."
About damn time.
Listen. I don't like the Bronte sisters. HATED Wuthering Heights. Can sort of stand Jane Eyre. Saw this tag line and thought "ok, I'm intrigued." Read the synopsis and was in. Jane with some gumption? Sweet.
It took me a bit to get into the book. The first half was a bit slow for me, but maybe that was kid interruptions. I listened to the last half today and it was much more interesting. I wouldn't say its something I would come back to time and again, but again, I don't love the source material. But I do love how it *changed* the source material.
Murdery, funny at times, a bit of mystery to solve. Pretty good all around.
