I stopped and started this book too many times, because I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps I love Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte too much to have given this book a fair chance. It is not a bad book, but all it did was make me want to reread Jane Eyre! I will recommend this book to ...

Me gusta bastante Jane Eyre y me parece interesante la forma en que la historia es adaptada a diversos medios. Cuando vi esta adaptación moderna y juvenil, me dio curiosidad saber como harían para captar las personalidades de Jane y Rochester en un entorno tan diferente del original.Y aunque la form...

Y'all. I knew better. I knew better! All I can say is if you "update" a classic novel by merely using Cliff's Notes and changing the setting to the present day, nothing will make sense. NOTHING. Example? If you haven't read the original Jane Eyre this is a spoiler so click at your discretion: To...

I can’t began to impress how much I loved this book. Not only did it give me butterflies but the way everything flowed was outstanding! I loved Jane.

Summary: In this update of Jane Eyre, 19-year-old orphan Jane Moore takes a job as nanny to the daughter of a reformed bad-boy rock star.

well, this book has got all the elements hardcore twilight fans love: creepy romance, terrible dialouge, shallow characters! yup, all key ingredients! Jane, however, does have one element that mormon vampires stay far away from: dirty, evil, PREMARITAL sex! (OMG!) This addition, I admit, does stay a...

Let me start by saying that I love Jane Eyre. There’s something so effortless about the way Bronte weaves her stories that even if I may not like the plot, I will invariably read her book for the strength of the prose alone. The mastery of the words, the beauty of the sentences – all these things th...

One word. Bravo. Jane Eyre is my favorite book of all time, so I didn't know what to expect. I was hoping that the author didn't dumb it down too much, but she did a great job of placing this timeless story into a modern day setting. She kept the original story, and did not sway too much. To be hone...

Okay, so this book was the biggest timesuck of my life. A few of the passages were actually painful to read. Like a good little reader, I just kept slogging right though because I had high hopes for this. I kept hoping that it would get better because I really did enjoy Jane Eyre when we read it in ...
