ashutoph 's review for:

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
4.0

This was a long slow read, and at times I found myself wishing it was much shorter. We really get to read Jane's every thought. But at its conclusion I was thankful for it! I really felt like I had been on a long journey with Jane, and that I knew her, and was happy to have been at her side through every era of her life. The book got a tad religious towards its end and especially in its last pages but I can appreciate that perspective as well as any other and it didnt detract from the conclusion. I can't say I'll be jumping to pick it up again (I'm still a little put-off by the length!) but in time I can see myself leisurely re-reading this one simply out of fondness.
