I'm a man--and I liked it. September 8, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I had several men try to dissuade me from reading _Jane Eyre_, but I'm glad I didn't listen. This is not an exclusively "female" novel; Jane Eyre's conflicts are universal: feelings of insecurity, feelings of jealousy; the temptation to give up what one truly wants for something less desirable but more easily obtainable. Women don't have a monopoly on these struggles. Any man with the slightest drop of romance and sensibility in his veins should be able to enjoy this book.
 I hate this book March 25, 1997
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
I don't think this book even deserves 1 out of ten. I was forced to read it at school and it was awful. Boring with no decent story line and a main charater who was far too goody goody for words . If you ever see a copy of this book BURN IT
 None other compares to Jane Eyre October 16, 2000

If you have never read this great work of art, then I can only say that once you do, you will never come across another which compares. I still have not, though I have tried to find anything as deeply moving, meaningful, beautiful a story, and one so wonderfully well- written as Jane Eyre. My favorite movie version is the A & E version filmed a few years ago (1997, I believe) with Cirian Hinds, the Shakespearean actor, as Mr. Rochester. His portrayal captured most closely my impression of the character,from reading the novel, and I adored the whole script, and the beautiful use of language in that film. Also, the setting was wonderful. If you can find it, get that version. The story is so meanigful, don't leave this world without ever having read Jane Eyre.

Jane Eyre is a romantic novel. It portrays life for the women in the early 1800's. Jane wasn't like the other woman, she wanted to take care of her self. She didn't want the men to take care of her. She even compared herself to a man, and said she was smarter. Jane once said, "I can't stay here to become nothing to you." This quote showed that Jane wanted more out of life, than to be just a house wife. When you read this novel you will see that Jane is trying to find herself and on her journey in doing so, she also finds love. If you are into this kind of stuff, then you will like this book.
The Jane Eyre Review January 14, 2004
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Over the last month I've been reading Jane Eyre. The book is by Charlotte Bronte. Jane Eyre was a good book because it had very interesting chapters. My favorite part was when Jane found out she was rich. I liked this part because it filled her with joy. My least favorite part was when Jane left the person she loved, so she wouldn't get hurt. I didn't like this part because it made me feel bad for Jane. I liked the ending because it was very happy! I would recommend this book to you because it has a lot of suprising scenes. I'm not going to tell you anymore because you will have more fun reading it yourself.
