    About this audiobook

    Many people think that Charlotte Bronte loosely based Jane Eyre on her own life and experiences. See how Bronte tells her story through the eyes of Jane Eyre. Even though Jane was orphaned at an early age and forced to live with her evil aunt, Mrs. Reed, she still managed to be happy. Read along as Jane travels to Lowood School and eventually to Thornfield Hall where she meets Mr. Rochester, the only true love she ever knows.

      I read this book years ago, but apparently I just blitzed it. I read it again last week-I couldn't put it down! I loved every minute of it (I wasn't thrilled to read to youger years but it explained so much about her adulthood). She is such a unique character-so strong and yet weak at the same time. I loved her. Oh! And Mr. Rochester....sigh... What a wonderful character! I enjoyed getting to know him throughout the novel. I liked his somewhat abrasive personality. I'm a sucker for a rude, sarcastic, somewhat proud man (in books at least) :) The cool thing about their relationship is neither of them forced the other to change. He tried to make her change but I'm pretty sure the whole time he knew she wouldn't.Read it! And when you're done and can't stop thinking about it, read it again! :D

      Oh My God!! I absolutely love this book! This is the first ever book to actually make me cry. Jane Eyre is the remarkable story about a girl, Jane, and her struggles that she has to face throughout her life from and orphaned child living in her evil aunt's house with her tormenting cousins, to becoming a governess. She also tries to unravel the history of her mysterious employer, Mr. Rochester.

      2006, BBC Audiobooks, Read by Juliet Stevenson"If all the world hated you, and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved you, and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends." (Ch 8)I am completely won over by Jane Eyre’s indomitable spirit, her keen observance of human nature, and unwavering dedication to her principles. The novel is by turns social commentary, gorgeous love story, and Gothic regale. Bronte’s characters are out of this world – absolutely beautifully written. Rochester, all wild and rugged and unrefined, takes his place opposite Austen’s Darcy and Gaskell’s Thornton.About narrator Juliet Stevenson I cannot say enough good. She is exquisite! Highly recommended!
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it. Despite the fact it was written in the 1800's I found it was very easy to read and understand when compared to say Dickens or other writers of that period. It is mainly a love story but it is also a mystery. The main characther Jane Eyre has had an unhappy and difficult childhood. She becomes a governess and goes to live at a large country house. She starts to develop feelings for her boss the Earl of Rochester who seems to feel affection for her but there are obstacles in the way. The difference in age and class and also dark secrets from his past could prevent them from being together. I really enjoyed this book although I did have a few problems with it due to the attitudes at the time it was written there is some (perhaps not entirely obvious)racism. The portrait she paints of a mixed race woman is not exactly flattering but typical of the period (the jewish charachter Fagan in Oliver Twist). Apart from that I really enjoyed it and thought it was extremely well written.

      Jane Eyre has been my favorite since I first read it way back in middle school, the 6th grade I believe. I loved it then and I continue to love it. Jane is a remarkable heroine, she is not beautiful or charming, she is quite and bookish. She goes from a smart abused child to a smart stronge young woman. She has hope and bravery when she has no reason to believe in happy endings and that is why I love her. I do love her, for being to my mind one of the strongest female characters written and she does it all without batting her eyes. Not even once. This book may be listed as a romance, but it is also a mystery and a drama. I would highly recommended it for character building.

      Jane Eyre was the first book I read on graduating to the Young Adult section of the library at the age of 13. I have re-read it every 2 or 3 years since then-and I'm 81. My favorite novel of all time. When I was young, I read it for the pathos of a young orphan but as I grew older I realized the depth of feeling and intellect which informs the book. Into the 70s when I discovered that young people saw it as a great feminist model--and so it is. Every time I read it I find something else to ponder. Ranks right up there with the best of Jane Austen. One of the highlights of my last trip to England was a visit to Haworth and the moors of Yorkshire.

      First read this when I was about 10 and it was so dark and scary!!. . .especially the fire and the mad woman!!Reading it again as I got older and as an adult, not so! First impressions count though, hey!
    • 5/5
      this is a brilliant novel. i loved that Jane was able to be a strong and principled heroine without having to act like a man.
    • 2/5
      Well, I hate to admit it, but I didn`t enjoy this book a great amount. It was good, and I admire Charlotte Bronte for her risky plot line, however I simply did not enjoy it. I am a classics lover myself, but this wasn`t one of the greats for me!
    • 4/5
      This book might be a bit hard to understand, but if you're okay with old fashioned English, it's a great choice.
    • 5/5
      I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of the classics, but I really liked Jane Eyre. It certainly had its fair share of long-winded monologues, but overall it was a very interesting story. It's probably not a book that I will reread, but it was definitely worth my time to read it once. Great story. Great book.
    • 5/5
      Everyone one knows the storyline of the mad wife locked in the attic. I thought that that was all this book was about. An old joke referenced in television shows and movies. I decided to read this book after reading Jasper Fforde's outrageously fun book "The Eyre Affair." In that story the main character goes in and out of "Jane Eyre" and witnesses different key moments from the book. I decided to pickup a copy of the Dover Thrift Edition and check it out. The woman who rang me up at the bookstore commented on how she had read it in high school and loved it. When I mentioned to other women that I was reading the book they all said how much they enjoyed it. The reason why this is such a beloved book is that the main character is not beautiful or glamorous, she is a plain ordinary women who it intelligent and has an abundance of inner strength. She goes from a sad childhood to happiness with the man she loves to heartbreak. She goes from poverty to riches. Jane Eyre is a character that women can relate to and her story is about an ordinary women becoming extraordinary.

      I read Jane Eyre for the first time on the occasion of a family trip to England and, in particular, a Peak District hike which passed by the real-world inspiration for key places in the story -- Moor End, Thornfield Mansion, and the Olivers' house. Much of the book, I really liked. Charlotte Bronte wove an interesting plot. However, the story proved way too preachy for my modern tastes. Also, I was really annoyed by Bronte's decision to gloss over Jane's eight years at boarding school. Clearly, the school was a transforming experience in Jane's life, and it wasn't fair for the author to skedaddle right over the period and not show us how it changed the heroine. Also, I found Jane to be way too inflexible. Still, overall, I greatly enjoyed the book.

      Jane Eyre is Charlotte Bronte’s first novel, published under the pen name of Currer Bell. Jane Eyre, orphaned at a very young age, suffers at the hands of her aunt and cousins when her maternal uncle dies. At the age of ten, she is sent to a charity boarding school, where her life is also filled with privation until an outbreak of typhus exposes the austere measures imposed by the manager of the school. At the age of eighteen, she leaves the school to become a governess to Mr Edward Fairfax Rochester’s ward, Adèle. Here, Jane seems to find happiness: beneath Mr Rochester’s moody exterior, there appears to be kindness and perhaps even love? But further events may destroy her chance at happiness.The use of words that seem to be nowadays obsolete, such as: unclose (doors etc); undraw (curtains); undeceive; benignant; show how much can change in a language in a mere 200 years. Described as a classic, it is easy to see why Jane Eyre is one of the most unforgettable of English novels.
    • 5/5
      A timeless classic and a book I return to again and again.
    • 3/5
      Jane Eyre, like most classics, is difficult to review. There are many wonderful elements, morals and ideas embedded in the story which make it a timeless classic. However, people who want to learn about these themes and elements I'm sure know where to go. For my review, I will be judging the book mostly from a perspective of a modern reader looking for enjoyment in a novel (rather than enlightenment).I do love this story. It starts dramatic, with Jane Eyre a young and abused child. This gothic novel provides numerous heart-wrenching trials for Jane Eyre. Her life contains difficulty after difficulty. But she remains a strong woman who does not compromise her morals for anything or anyone in hopes of an easy way out, or in hopes of pleasing the higher-class members. Although inferior to most the people she interacts with, she relies on her independence and speaks her mind even at times when it isn't in her position.This is definitely a romantic novel. Not romantic in modern terms. This novel, although does center a great deal about the love between Jane and Mr. Rodchester, does not contain a lot of romance as romance is in modern terms. It is romantic in literary terms because Jane Eyre is a passionate woman with strong feelings. She does not listen to society and follow the conventional rules that are set before her. During her time at Lowood, she was secure with a future she could enjoy. It didn't take her long to feel a little bored with her mundane surroundings (who never does?). Yet, she doesn't ignore these feelings as most people would. She follows her passion for a new environment. Not long afterwords, after settling down, she walks out on her life with hardly anything on her back because of an immediate feeling of dependency that had overcome her. She does have rational thoughts, and she tries to reason everything that occurs in her life. However, she almost always follows her feelings.So she left without taking a single gift among many that had been given to her. She sought independence, and nearly starved herself on the journey because of it. A strong woman, indeed.
    • 4/5
      A classic story of love and duty.
    • 3/5
      Nice romance, but a little too romantic (in the sense of over-excitable) and mystical for my taste. The main character is very believable and lovable, I like the way she stands up for what she believes in and her independence of character.
    • 4/5
      Plot: Coming-of age story with plenty of romance thrown in. Partially predictable, partially surprising twists. It moves rather slowly, but that's to be expected from the period. Some of the subplots feel rather contrieved, and the story loses direction for a bit towards the end.Characters: Jane is somewhat Mary Sue-ish, but she predates the concept by more than a century so it's acceptable. Rochester is more interesting and the shady sides of his character add depth. Style: Period writing, relatively simple vocabulary but voluminous sentences. Some sections are intensely written (Lowood Institution in particular), others meander a bit and are overly descriptive.Plus: The Lowood section, Rochester, and the mad wife and all the echoes that left in literature. Minus: Jane. Summary: a classic and a must read for the influence on later works.
    • 5/5
      One of the best 19th century novels ever written. A basic class-struggle romance with an unusual twist of mystery and secrecy create a passionate, enthralling story that is impossible to put down.
    • 5/5
      An all-time favorite to be read over and over again. A dramatic plot, a virtuous, intelligent woman, a mentally tortured master, a dark mystery--all contribute to the making of a long popular classic. Great mastery of the English language.
    • 2/5
      I feel that I partially have my lady hormones to blame in liking this book. But I am also a sucker for relentlessly sharp verbal ripostes between couples, also same for triple secret mysteries and strong character building.A little heavy-handed on the God thing at the end though, Charlotte.
    • 4/5
      I have no idea why anyone ever thought this was a good book for children to read - but I read when I was a child. I don't actually have the edition listed here, but a second edition. I got it when I was a kid and actually wrote my name in it - a book that was over a hundred years old. What was I thinking?
    • 5/5
      A true classic which has demanded to be read at least once a year since childhood (a good few years!). Well written and historically interesting. This from someone who can rarely stomach romantic fiction...
    • 5/5
      I had to read this story for a literature class and because I dreaded reading such a long story because of time, I saved it for last...tisk tisk what a mistake... Once I started I could not tear myself away from it...Completely and utter marvelousness are a few adjectives I can use to describe this story...It was everything a love story should be, suspenceful, mysterious, convoluted, vivid, scarey, humanitarian, passionate, fearless, etc etc, I could go on. The attention to minute details are what makes this story great.
    • 5/5
      There is a reason that Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre" is a classic. It is a tragic, timeless story with readers so real, you feel you know them. Bronte's writing style is a bit wordy at times, but it is all in setting the scene and getting to know the characters she so thoroughly developed.
    • 5/5
      This book is like an old fasioned Cinderella. Jane does not have a family and she is forced to live with distant relations who don't like her at all. This book is all about her life and all of the adventures she encounters. I reccomend this book to people who like slow realistic stories. In the beginning, the book is very slow and boring. You just have to pull yourself through that! This is a really good book for people who like classics!
    • 4/5
      A simply amazing book. With change of a chapter, we learn something new about Jane that she illustrates passionately and full of splendor. Despite all that she has been through, her perseverance to hold on to her belief in love is awe inspiring and very much believable. A wonderful classic that both scares me and delights me.
    • 4/5
      It is highly likely that, like me, you are a re-reader of Jane Eyre. Why? The melodrama is risible; the coincidences beggar belief; the transformations in situation and fortune are almost like a fairytale. And yet something draws you back. Surely it must be the conviction of Jane’s narrative voice, her flinty unwillingness to be misused, her determination, her luck of survival, her daring to even consider love, but also her resolve not to submit to anything less than the equal marriage of (unfettered) true minds and hearts. It is Jane alone who draws us back. What a curious and singular character she is.It is certainly true that Jane encounters her fair share of repugnant individuals in her short life. Nothing redeems the behaviour of Mrs Reed or her children, and Mr Brocklehurst is a sorry substitute, fixated as he is on an economic spiritual ideal of education mostly suited for shaping souls for the next life and not the one before them. But Jane also has luck. Whether it comes in the form of the inspirational Helen Burns, or perhaps her best mentor, Miss Temple, Jane somehow attracts the succour of the good and just individuals she meets. Even the otherworldly St John Rivers is counterbalanced by his more amiable sisters.But of course it is Mr Rochester who fascinates Jane, and she him. He is both ugly in form and, at least initially, ugly in character – officious, peremptory, and dismissive. More ugliness lies beneath, too much perhaps. Rochester tempts fate by enticing Jane into a liaison that can only blacken his character. He tempts fate, and fate intervenes.Brontë’s world is heavy with the clash of dark and light, good and—not evil perhaps, but—sullied nature. My temperament leads me to prefer Austen, but every once in a while, I find it necessary to come back and re-read this gripping tale. Recommended.
