@Miss Clark: Thank you, I aim to please! :)
@ Tatiana: No, I haven't, I'm always scared of movie adaptations of books I love. But Toby Stephens is hawt, and he's been in a Bollywood movie, where he was truly awesome, so I might watch it just for him! But after the disaster that was Kiera Knightley in Pride and Prejudice, I've tried to stay away from movie adaptations! I'll give this one a shot, and then maybe you'll go from Tatiana, Book Goddess to Tatiana, Movie goddess as well! :)

Oh no, I loved P&P with Kiera! Mr. Darcy in that movie makes my mouth water every time I get a glimpse of him! So maybe watching my suggestion is not such a great idea?

I hate Kiera on principle, I just think she has only one expression that she uses for all her movies. Also she should never be allowed to dress herself. Matthew Macfadyen is all kinds of hot, I agree! :) I will give Jane Eyre a shot anyhow, and if I hate it, I'll just make sure not to watch any more movie adaptations! No harm, no foul. :)

Great review! This made me feel all warm inside to read :)

I do, I do! I think in terms of originality and innovation, Tenant of Wildfell Hall is way more progressive than Jane Eyre, it's just that Jane has a special place in my heart! Objectively speaking, though, I'd rate Tenant higher!

Ok, this review was so pretty now I want to read it! LOL! I figure if I love Wuthering Heights I should respect this one just as much right?

What you should really watch is the most recent film adaption- just came out this year. It's starring two of my favorite actors, and I did love it. It was gorgeous. The ending pissed me off a bit, but I can live with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Eyr...

It's crazy, and I guess it just shows my LOVE for "Jane Eyre" but this review literally brought me to tears. I can completely relate to your illustration about your childhood doll and how Jane Eyre is the same to you now in your adulthood, this is the part that moved me most. I thought I was the only one who felt this way about Jane, I guess not. Jane Eyre is one for the ages and you are on point in saying it would not be a best seller today, such a pity. Thank God Charlotte Brontë was born in the 1800s then.
