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.

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.

The book is great and this abriged version is a money waste. I will suggest people to find free recording on the internet which includes the whole book.

I had to read this book for a class assignment and I wasn't too thrilled.... BUT once I started reading... and reading..... I couldn't Stop! It was amazing... brilliant.... beautiful!

a sad story about the life of an orphan and how her life turned out. It is a tender love story about Jane Eyre and MR. Rochester and how hard it was for them to be together. It is a very mature book but easy reading.

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.

Very fast shipping, good quality tapes. I've already listened to them twice and have lent them to my sisters to enjoy. Thank you for having cassettes available.

I just read Jane Eyre for a 9th grade classic book project. Even though I chose the book, as it was recommended, I found it was a bit slow in some parts, Charlotte Bronte gets so into her descriptions that it bores the reader from time to time. It was a good book all the same.The writing technique amazing. I loved the romance and the happy ending. I recomend it to tennagers and young adults,but a word to the wise keep a French dictionary handy!

I went into this book thinking it would probably be boring. Was I ever wrong! It is the best book I have ever read!

A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I'll never regret the day I accepted his suggestion and got this book. A beloved classic, which I have never in my life heard of, has become my favorite book of all time. Better than Danielle Steel. Better than Stephen King. These are the books that will last for ages to come.
