All of the sudden I 100% understand people's fascination with this story.
Despite it being written in the mid 1800s and there being at least three words a page that I had to look up in the dictionary, I followed Jane's autobiographical story told in 1st person POV very easily (unlike when I read Pride and Prejudice, which confused the heck outta me).
To say that this is the most quotable book I've ever read is an understatement! I highlighted so many things. Some of the lines about being in love are pure magic.
"Come to me - come to me entirely now," said he; and added, in his deepest tone, speaking in my ear as his cheek was laid on mine, "Make my happiness - I will make yours."
"My future husband was becoming to me my whole world; and more than the world: almost my hope of heaven. He stood between me and every thought of religion, as an eclipse intervenes between man and the broad sun."
"Not a human being that ever lived could wish to be loved better than I was loved; and him who thus loved me I absolutely worshipped."
Read this book. Now I say! Read it now!

1. It says it's illustrated. Attached is a photo example of one such picture. What in the world is that?! Sausages hanging over a campfire?! NONE of the crap, toddler-did-this-for-sure illustrations apply to the story in any way.
2. Once I hit page 117, everything from then on was called page 117. Photo also attached. So fun.

Kindle formatting is junk, and the "illustrations" look like a drunk 6 year-old did them.

This is not a review of the novel, but a review of the Kindle edition and its worthless formatting. 2 issues:By Kevin R. on January 9, 2018

I was disappointed that the dust jackets weren't white like the winter collection so it doesn't completely match as a set, if it's for season differences I get it but I'm not a fan of the cooler (it's blue) tone of white as compared to the previous season. Plus it doesn't complement any of the colors of the books though for this season, imo.
*Hopefully the pictures show you what I mean.
Can't wait to see what they release next!

Buy another copy

This looks like a super cheap reprint for a not-so-cheap price. It’s big (almost 7x10) with almost no margins and the chapters begin in the middle of a page.

The story itself is interesting and after losing my old copy I decided to get a new one. However, this book was so awful I have now repurchased another else where to replace this one. Despite the book being quite big, the text is incredibly small but also awkward in having three columns per page. I am an avid reader but really struggled with this format and couldn’t get past a few pages. Very disappointing and a waste of money.
