I finally understand when people are talking about the books that made them fell in love with reading. My reading process was so agreable, and I was captivated by Charlotte Brontë writing style. The story is so accessible and I really loved the first part.
I am less a fan of too much detail that can be given during a character depiction. The pacing is really good even though I felt like the second part was dragging on. The characters are all well written, despite the fact that I didn't particularly like any of them.
I am a bit disapointed because at some point in the story some things didn't make a lot of sense anymore and characters started to be unpleasing... Also, I wasn't charmed by the love story mainly because I have a hard time engaging with big age gap relationships.
Even then I totally share the love that people have for this masterpiece of storytelling and it's definitely one of those books that make you forget about time.
