Amazing book itself and the quality was perfect. 10/10

I loved this book - way more than I thought I would. I love Jane’s character, the character development is strong. Great imagery, complex writing style. Would recommend

Bought this copy for granddaughter..... this was one of my all time favorite books as a teenager through my older years. I have every Jane Eyre movie ever made, and now granddaughter is hooked. Next is Jane Austen!!

Whew...I finally finished! I have been holding on to this book since April 2011. It's not because the book was loathsome but because I began to feel as if Jane and I had become friends. As crazy as that may sound, I really hated for this book to end because it felt as if I was parting ways with an old friend. We are introduced to Jane Eyre as a young orphan residing with her uncle's (deceased) wife, Mrs. Reed, and three cousins. Jane was not welcome in their home and was sent to Lowood boarding school. The conditions at Lowood were horrible. Lowood was about survival and Jane soon found out that some didn't. Jane remained at Lowood until she was nineteen where she then transferred to Thornfield Hall to become a governess. It is at Thornfield Hall where Jane's strong resolve and concrete emotions are put to the ultimate test. Here is where the love story begins. Jane and her new employer Edward Rochester fall in love but not without challenges. Even though it was the perfect fairy tale "rich man falls in love with lonely orphan," this is where the story takes a turn. Mr. Rochester has a secret. Just when you think nothing else bad can happen to Jane worse knocks the door down. Needless to say Jane had to flee Thornfield Hall abruptly without any direction or much else. She was stranded, starving, and sick when she ended up on the door step of a family that would nurse her back to health. The Rivers family took Jane in and she began to gain her strength mentally, emotionally, and physically. The family was made up of two sisters and a brother. Jane became instant friends with them all. The brother, St. John Rivers, actually discovered the destitute Jane who had been turned away initially by the family servant. During her season with the Rivers family, Jane received one of the best revelations of her life. Her ending up on the door step of the Rivers home was not a coincidence it was "divine" intervention. St. John Rivers had other plans for Jane once he had studied her for a while. St. John is very stoic and manipulating individual all under the guise of "minister." Jane does not fall for his manipulative tactics and follows her heart back to Thornfield Hall. When she arrives at Thornfield Hall she stumbles upon a shocking and horrifying surprise. Jane Eyre is just a "boss" type chick (if can describe her in hip-hop terms). She faced some insurmountable odds but all these back to back hardships birthed a certain unexplainable resilience in her. Jane was not easily broken because she was grounded in her faith. Bronte developed a character that we need to encourage all young women to read and get to know. Jane didn't succumb to fleshly temptations but instead she fled and this led to a great rewards. Jane's valley experiences let her to a mountaintop of blessings and real love. This book is a classic that has been reviewed numerous times. Most that read Jane's story count her as an old friend because they have been reading her story since high school. Prior to reading this book, I saw several references to it being "gothic" and there is even a goth illustrated edition. As I read, I began to think it should be categorized as "Christian" fiction. I absolutely fell in love with all the Biblical references and how grace and faith played major roles throughout the entire story. Jane Eyre started out an orphan who was pressed on every side by adversity but she grew to be a strong woman that one could liken to the mythical phoenix.

I love the book, almost finished reading it but no doubt I’ll read it again after I read a couple other books.

I don’t know why I didn’t read this book earlier but now I’ve done, I shall never forget! Enjoy this rare outstanding book.

It is the first time I have read this classic, I'm sorry to say. Charlotte Bronte was a great writer with a talent of understanding deep feelings of pain, joy, and love. I have read another of her novels, Wuthering Heights, and recognized the same insight to deep emotions, also. I recommend Ms. Bronte's books for all who appreciate strong emotional reads.

Mercadoria chegou dentro do prazo, até hj nunca tive problema com entrega pela Amazon. É um livro de bolso, no meu vídeo coloquei ele em cima de outro livro pra ter noção do tamanho. A capa é bem molinha, as folhas mais amareladas. Comprei o livro pra treinar o inglês, ainda não conheço os livros da autora, mais vejo que é muito bem conceituada tanto no Brasil quanto fora do Brasil. Ponto negativo: a lateral do livro veio com alguns defeitos na parte superior, mas nada que incomode muito.

Ordered this for my friend as she loves reading and it arrived in just a day.
