alyson7 's review for:
Manga Classics: Jane Eyre
by Crystal S. Chan, Charlotte Brontë
I was so excited to discover a manga adaptation of my favourite novel of all-time, Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. Reading the manga was a completely new and fresh experience. When reading the original novel, everything is seen though Jane's point of view. Her interiority gives the novel its richness and depth. A manga is visual and automatically limiting in depicting interiority. Yet, the artwork in the manga, and concise adaptation of the text worked very well. I was so happy to see all of my favourite quotes from Jane Eyre transplanted into the manga. Manga Classic's version of Jane Eyre is a great adaptation and introduction to Bronte's masterpiece as it captures the very essence of the storyline.
