I was kind of mixed on this one. Even though I've never read Jane Eyre, I have seen several movie versions of the novel and am quite familiar with the story of Rochester and the "mad" woman who lives in the upper reaches of the gloomy Rochester estate. I think I was hoping for more character development in "Wide Sargasso Sea" both of Rochester and Antoinette Mason. However, for me the narrative was choppy at best, and hard to follow. I never got a real feel for the characters or their motivations. I guess I was expecting more from this.
