Jane Eyre
This week I read Jane Eyre. Honestly, I started reading this over break because it was the only book that I had in Washington DC. I then quit reading it because, as I had said before, I only had read the first three pages and was severely bored. Last week I kinda picked it up again and decided to give it a try. Now let me clarify; this is NOT the type of book that I normally read at all. But I thought that it was all classic or whatever and I might at least give it a try. And I did. And surprisingly... wait for it...It was actually kind of good. Jane Eyre is about a person named Jane Eyre, and it kind of follows her life and her time being a governess for these people. It does not have a lot of action in it, but the characters are pretty developed too. Overall, I would recommend this book to anybody who wants to try reading a so-called "classic" book. This book, as well as being a classic, is also pretty good so- there you go.

What are some of the things that happen over the course of her life? It sounds interesting but it would be nice to know a little more before I read it.
ReplyDeleteYeah. It's kind of a pretty stereotypical storyline, it follows her when she had suckish adoptive parents and silblings, her going to a boarding school, and then finally Falling in love with her imployer as a Governer.
DeleteIt's kind of amazing that you continued reading it. I never would have done that. Maybe I will try this. I should probably read more classics.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about reading that book, like Etti I should read more classics. Is it worth a try to read it? I think I might give it a try
ReplyDeleteI think it's worth a try, it was ok in my opinion, and a good way to score some Max and Kam points :)
DeleteOoo sounds as you said "pretty good" maybe I'll read it, but It'll be further down on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI love this book. the movie is depressing too, if you're in the mood for a depressing movie.
