respirelejasmin 's review for:

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
4.25
dark emotional slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is a classic for a reason. It's obviously a masterfully-written, well-rounded book, but there are two aspects I specificially enjoyed :
- the depth, complexity of some characters, though it was a bit disappointed to see some depicted as unredeemable or almost not human (Bertha of course, but also Ms Reed)
- how nature was written, its portrayal so vivid and physical you often feel it around you
