Rating: 5/5
Review: Yes, this one is most defnitely my favorite. There couldn't possibly be another classic that I would love more. Jane is so compelling, such a beloved character. And oh the romance! From the moment Jane and Mr. Rochester meet, there is chemistry that cannot be denied. They barely touch during their courtship, but the passion they feel for one another practically sizzles on the page. The longing looks, the forbidden thoughts, and the declaration of love that moved me to tears...that's what a good romance is all about. Of course that's not all this book has. There's a mystery, and even a little suspense, too. Now, I need to go get myself a copy so that I can read it again and again.
Book Description:
Orphaned at an early age, Jane Eyre leads a lonely life until she finds work as a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets the mysterious Mr. Rochester and sees a ghostly woman who roams the halls by night. This is a story of passionate love, travail and final triumph. The relationship between the heroine and Mr. Rochester is only one episode, albeit the most important, in a detailed fictional autobiography in which the author transmuted her own experience into high art. In this work the plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, but possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage. She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order which circumscribes her life and position.

I get a little annoyed when people put poor little Jane down. I think she's a wonderful character--she stand her ground, holds up in difficult situations, stays true to her principles. Love this book!
