    "A Great Read, Audio not so great!"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Only if they have very good listening equipment. I ordered audio because I have a hearing loss. I thought using the earphones would work well when exercising. Perhaps it was my earphones not being "top of the line", but I could hardly hear the voice, then it completely left! I read the book which I did enjoy and would highly recommend it. The movie is also being shown on TV and having read the book recently made the movie even better!


    Any additional comments?

    I will probably try another audible book if it is read by a man. I tend to hear male voices better than high-pitched female voices.

    "GOOD READ!"
    What did you like about this audiobook?

    VERY GOOD! NEXT TO EXCELLENT! The words flowed nicely,GOOD voice choice. The only trouble came that I remember was when the name of St.John came about. I was surprised to see that it could go from English to French to German without a problem. I wish that the voice recognition program that I had on my PC for typing a while back was half as good.


    How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

    JANE was my favorite and closest to myself on many levels. I served many people in the 20 plus years as an aide.


    Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

    She has a great accent to read not only for busy adult, but for children also. A clear speaking voice as well as a GOOD pitch for those that are hard of hearing. It was obviously a good choice to have a woman' s voice READING a book from a woman's perspective. VERY WELL DONE!

    "Classic Tale Read Beautifully"

    Jane Eyre is a classic book. I love the heroine's quiet strength, and her resolve to do what she believes is right, despite how it conflicts with what would be pleasurable. Her self-respect despite her low station is really admirable.

    I think the voice actor, Susan Ericksen, was such an excellent choice for this book. Her soft-spoken performance, and her range of emotion, seemed like a natural fit for Jane, and she was a delight to listen to for the entire length of the book. Hearing the book read by Susan Ericksen really added to the experience.

    "a great story"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    I would recommend this book because it is entertaining and has an interesting plot. I found it somewhat cumbersome however due to the formality of the old english.

    Story
    "Captivated me until the very end."

    The character of Jane Eyre sometimes frustrated me and the way she was written made it hard for me to comprehend her actions at times. However, I was captivated by her story until the very end, wishing her a happy ending.

    The narration I found to be a little overdone at times. Male characters spoke in such exuberance that would in reality be far fetched for most females. But I found all other aspects of the narration enjoyable, and the few flaws were not so bad as to take away from the storyline.

    "Most enjoyable"
    Would you listen to Jane Eyre [Brilliance Edition] again? Why?

    I might. There were parts of this book where the narration was fabulous!


    What did you like best about this story?

    I was rooting for the characters through their trials.I was happy that Jane got help during the storm and in the end was able to return the favor and then some.


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

    Jane was my favorite. The way she held her head high was outstanding.


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

    No! There was so much going on that you needed a break to process all that happened. I was, however, ready to get back to it as soon as possible.


    Any additional comments?

    I found that my diction mirrored the reader after a while. It was fantastic to notice.
