Manga Classics: Jane Eyre by Crystal S. Chan, Charlotte Brontë
5.0

It is a tribute to the writer's artistry that one outlandish event happens after another and yet it remains totally believable. I also liked that both hero and heroine are homely - a refreshing change although it makes me doubtful as to the film adaptations. This is the second time I read this - I went on a Bronte kick about 20 years ago, and came away an Anne Bronte fan - so I suspect I got a lot more out of this book this time.
