Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre follows the emotions and experiences of eponymous Jane Eyre, her growth to adulthood, and her love for Mr. Rochester, the byronic master of Thornfield Hall. The novel contains elements of social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, but is nonetheless a novel many consider ahead of its time given the individualistic character of Jane and the novel's exploration of sexuality, religion, and proto-feminism.

My attempt to hear the classics

If I had actually read it, I am embarrassed to say, I likely would have found myself scanning much of it. It is beautifully written and of course was definitely worth my time - but my mind wandered at much of her lengthy prose (and poetry). I would have to go back and re-listen to much of it.

I am also not a 5 star fan of the reader because of the harshness of some of her voices (male). She was an excellent reader but sometimes so dramatic it was off-putting to me.

For me to even dare not give five stars to this is almost sacrilege I know, but unfortunately I am living in such a different time. I loved it - but think it could have been a few less hours long! Gasp! Sorry!

Excellent--so much better than movie versions!

Excellent narrator! She held my attention for hours. If your only exposure to Jane Eyre has been movie adaptations or abridged print versions, you owe it to yourself to hear all of Jane's story. So many important plot points and character details are lost otherwise. Highly recommended!

Excellent Listen!

Excellent story, I was very suprised at how much I enjoyed it. Good narrator. I would recommend this to anyone.

A Childhood Favorite

I loved this book as a child. As an adult I experienced even richer enjoyment. Classic!! What better adjective to describe this work? And the execution of the reading was excellent.

Timeless Classic

This is my all-time favorite book ever. I've read the printed version every year for the last 20 years. I decided to go with the audio book this time and was not disappointed. Excellent narration. Highly recommend this audiobook and this narrator. #ComingofAge #FeelGood #Inspiring #ThornfieldHall #tagsgiving #sweepstakes
