5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!!!, April 17, 1999

This review is from: Bronte's Jane Eyre (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

I read Jane Eyre for a class assignment and research paper. After 32 years, this is the first book that I read in it's entirety. It was a bit slow at first. Once I got through the first few chapters it grabbed me. This is wonderfully written and has continued my interest in reading books.

This review is from: Bronte's Jane Eyre (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

When I first discovered that I would have to read a classic in my 8th grade English class, one could say that I was less then happy. By happenstance, Jane Eyre was the first classic that I stumbled upon in our Media Center. It looked incredibly dull, but I thought that I would give it a shot; I couldn't find any classics that looked more interesting. Well to my own shock, I was immediately hooked on this book. The beginning was intriguing, the middle was unpredictable, and the end was--well, I'll just let you find out for yourself... The last bit of information that I will give to you about this timeless classic is this: when you think you know what is going to happen, think again. The surprises in this book sent me on a rollercoaster of emotions, and I strongly recommend that you readers take the same ride. It's great.

This review is from: Bronte's Jane Eyre (Cliffs Notes) (Paperback)

I thought this book was a very good book. I had to read it for my 10th grade honors english class and I enjoyed it. I think that is more of a "girls" book with all the romance and stuff but hey it is up to you if you want to read it or not. I would recommend this book to anybody!!!!
