My mom is a huge fan of the Brontë sisters. (I'm actually named for 2 of them.) So I kind of had to read this at some point.
There were parts I liked, and parts that really dragged. With the exception of that time she thought she saw a ghost, the retelling of Jane's childhood was kind of a slog. The parts where she was at Thornfield were definitely the most interesting.
I really liked Jane as a character. She has a strong moral compass, and she's logical and intelligent. Not sure why she was so disparaging to poor people while she taught at Morton, though. Maybe that was some of the author's opinions coming through?
I kind of knew the story up untilthe big reveal about Mrs. Rochester , but I didn't know what happened after that. In true 1800s British novel fashion, Jane wandered seemingly randomly in the wilderness and happened upon her cousins, her only living relatives. What a happy coincidence. I found St. John to be kind of interesting. I wondered why he was included at all, but I think it was for a contrast to Mr. Rochester. Jane had to have other options to confirm what she really wanted. I really liked the penultimate chapter.
It was kind of slow, but I'm glad I stuck with it.
