    "A classic for a reason!"
    Would you listen to Jane Eyre [Brilliance Edition] again? Why?

    Yes!! Although it is slow to "read" at times, it was a delightful listen!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Jane Eyre [Brilliance Edition]?

    Honestly, Ms. Ericksen's performance. I don't think I ever could have imagined the characters as vividly as she portrayed them. That was a delight!


    What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The characters come to life. She spoke with an English accent, of course but her Irish characters were impressive!


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No just because it was slow-moving at times but it was a delightful listen!


    Any additional comments?

    I would consider this a must "read!"

    "Love this story....excellent audio book!"
    What did you love best about Jane Eyre [Brilliance Edition]?

    Excellent audio book! I love this story and the narrator was very very good. If you like the classics like Austin books then you will love this book. I couldn't stop listening, especially towards the end. I have seen movies and miniseries based on this book but they do not do it justice. Timeless romance! This is one of those audio books that I would definitely listen to over and over again.

    "Quick for a long story."
    If you could sum up Jane Eyre [Brilliance Edition] in three words, what would they be?

    The narrator speaks very fast. This book usually takes a long time to get through but I felt it was made quicker by the narrator. She had a pleasant voice and I quickly adapted to the speed of her speech. This is one of my favorite classics and was even more enjoyable to be able to listen to it.

    "Rich and engaging, with flawless narration"

    The substance of the classic Jane Eyre is well established, and this character has enthralled readers for almost two hundred years. I can add little to the comments of readers who have read and studied the novel in far greater depth than I. I will add, however, that Susan Ericksen's narration was nothing short of splendid. In her most expressive rendition, I could hear Jane's youthful impertinence, her growing wisdom, and her passionate love. Desperation, strength of character, and fear issued with equal credibility from Susan Ericksen's voice.

    Story
    "An early Feminist"

    Jane Eyre was ahead of her time while also living by the social and religious mores of the era. A strong character in every way, I couldn't help but feel frustration for her choice to accept or tolerate the unjust treatment she endured over the course of her life. I had to keep reminding myself that for the times, she had few choices and made the best of what was available and possible. Charlotte Bronte effectively incorporates a clear picture of the oppressive circumstances of the age by the intellectual originality of her main character's internal dialogue and the actions she takes. Jane Eyre is always true to herself. It is a classic novel and a must-read for women of any age or stage in their own lives.

    "I finally read a classic!"
    Where does Jane Eyre [Brilliance Edition] rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    This was a good experience with a long classic piece of literature.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Character development of both good and bad in the whole story.


    Which character – as performed by Susan Ericksen – was your favorite?

    Jane of course!


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No way could I listen in one sitting. It took days to get through.


    Any additional comments?

    I'm glad I got into it. I found that I wanted to write emails in "old English" when I was done listening. Fun to hear the language as well as the readers French when needed within the body of the story and characters. "They quitted the room".... at least I understood what she meant. Fun to enter a different time and place, but oh such a tale she told!

    LOVED this story! I laughed and cried on my lengthy commutes to and from work. Love listening to these audible books through my car speakers! At times, I would forget it was a woman speaking the male parts. Susan did a wonderful job!
