Truly one of the best classic novels I have read! It's a hard one to put down!!
by far my most favorite book and I have read a lot of books
This story is a one of a kind tale of one of the strongest woman characters I have yet encountered. The story is just so gripping as young Jane goes from unwanted orphan to the mundane and humble life in Lowood charity school for girls knowing nothing of life outside of the school walls. She finds a position as governess for a young girl and decides to take the leap away from her security and all she's ever known.
The Master of the house, Mr. Rochester, gets a hold of her heart and eventually they are to be married. But there is a problem. Jane must choose between the laws of man and the laws of her God and consience. She faces hardship and starvation as she leaves her love to follow what she knows in her heart to be right. The decisions she is faced with are profound and difficult, almost uncomprehendible in today's society. She faces them all and lives with a clear consience. A good story through and through, one I will be reading over and over.

I hate to say it but i didnt like this book at all. i generally love classics and was really excited to finally read it. i cant say that the writing was bad, it was easy to comprehend and clear, but the story is so blah and at the same time saddening that i felt depressed once i had finished. even the fact that she marries in the end is not really redeeming at all.

Fantastic always a classic!
i read this book, and really wanted and tried to like and get into it. however it just never happened. i'm not sure what it was about the book, but it felt repetitive, and dragged along. i might give it another shot in the future.
Over the top!!!! Loved this book. You will want to read it over and over again. Excellent love story.
This book is a classic. Every high school and college student will more than likely read this book.
A classic itself, a must read for any true reader. The story of Jane a governess and her employer Mr Rochester.
A true classic of the Victorian era!
