Loved it! Not all of it - the middle dragged on forever and the courtship between Jane and Mr. Rochester was a bit boring. Their dialogue went forever…
But, the beginning of the book was wonderful and the end was fantastic!
Incredible writing!
* the book seemed long.
* there were many words I have never heard.
Some parts I liked:
"Georgiana, a more vain and absurd animal than you was certainly never allowed to cumber the earth. You had no right to be born, for you make no use of life. Instead of living for, in, and with yourself, as a reasonable being ought, you seek only to fasten your feebleness on some other person's strength; if no one can be found willing to burden her or himself with such a fat, weak, puffy, useless thing, you cry out that you are ill-treated, neglected, miserable. Then, too, existence for you must be scene of continual change and excitement, or else the world is a dungeon. You must be admired, you must be courted, you must be flattered—you must have music, dancing, and society—or you languish, you die away. Have you no sense to devise a system which will make you independent of all efforts, and all wills, but your own?
Mr. Rochester to Jane
“Who in the world cares for you? or who will be injured by what you do?" Still indomitable was the reply
- I care for myself. The more solitary, the more friendless, the more unsustained I am, the more I will respect myself.

I loved this classic. it was so easy to read and the end is so adorable.
but at some points it was about literally nothing special so that was a bit boring.

Even though I took this in class three years ago, I never had the chance to finsih it because I never wanted it to end. I knew exactly what happened because of class, but I had decided it was time for it to end. I must say, though, I will never have trouble when someone asks me my favourite book, the anser shall henceforth be "Jane Eyre"

2021: Still one of my favourites.
Quite possibly my favourite read of 2015. A wonderful way to start of a read-a-thon.
This book, I cannot say anything that will match the feeling of reading this book. If you have it on your shelves and haven't read it, do it now. Do it.
You will not regret it.
I want to read it again now.
