You couldn't change the book and it was written in a very popular form of storytelling for it's time. Too much trial and tribulation and dramatic dialog for my taste. It was a masterpiece in it's time and many people still love it.

I first read Jane Eyre when I was a sophomore in high school. I really enjoyed the book, especially since I am a romantic. Reading it again as a college sophomore, I think I gained even more from Bronte's story. Jane Eyre is so many things--a romance, a Gothic story, a discussion of issues such as freedom and the roles of women--but it is primarily about Jane herself, and her coming of age in a challenging world. Jane is, in her own words, plain, but although she may appear so on the outside, she is anything but as a character. Raised as an orphan by cruel relatives, Jane makes her way to Thornfield, where she becomes a governess and falls in love with the passionate and Byronic Rochester. Jane is a very unconventional heroine for her time, who chooses passion over prudence and ultimately triumphs over convention. Anyone who enjoys Victorian literature will like this book, but I think it would also appeal to those who are interested in romance and strong female characters. Jane Eyre is a book that has really lasted over time; it offers just as much to a reader today as it would have to one in the Victorian Era.Read full review
I can see how someone would think this book would be boring, but it’s not! It has a really good storyline & is not boring at all! It’s a good, easy classic read, yet still challenges the mind enough. It’s enjoyable to sit and read Jane Eyre.
