[Review] Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte (1847)

A lovely classic with lots of witty banter and plenty of moments of intrigue. Good rising and falling action.

One thing I really appreciated about this book was the lack of superficiality between the two main characters. Many modern romances rely too heavily on the physical beauty of the love interests, yet this one relies on the match of like minds.

I will note that classics are notoriously slow paced; and, as such, they can somethings feel like a chore to read. This one I ended up doing with Whispersync (ie, I read along while a narrator narrated) and I found the experience so much more enjoyable. Instead of feeling like I was slogging along, I delighted in the book. So, if you haven't tried classics via audio, give it a shot.

5 stars
