I really REALLY enjoyed the first half of the book, mainly because I love stories of orphans and/or boarding schools, so young Jane was somebody I enjoyed reading about. From a young age she was very hea...

THAT WAS MY PROBLEM. I looooooooove the story, and the characters are wonderful, but the writing is SO DARN SLOW. EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING IN SLOW MOTION!

I picked up the book for a holiday with my parents in a spa, there wasn't internet in the rooms so I spend my time reading it and I finished in a week. Starting may seem slow but trust me once you get in the middle part you will not put it down!

I'm glad you went through it... the thing with classics is they don't need action, they're about something else ;)

I didn't like Pride and Prejudice either! Why does everyone love it?! I feel like my emotions are broken or something.

same here! I enjoyed the part about her childhood and years in a boarding school so much and had such high hopes about what comes next, but with each chapter I was struggling only harder and harder through the book =((

I just read it as well and feel the same, but for me, it was the descriptions. I'm a very character driven reader and the portions where the characters are interacting, I ate up and loved, but it took sooooo long to get to those points and I found myself speed reading.

that is interesting, as I had a very different take on it. I found the beginning good, but the middle part was what I found to be the best. Not the courtship aspects that you mentioned, but in the interplay between Mr. Rochester and Jane during that period is what I really loved reading about...

I like Jane Eyre but I wouldn't classify it as life-changing, or enlightening either. It's a good book but I think that people exaggerate how good it is. I read Pride and Prejudic and I can't believe it's in the top ten books of all time of some list I read a while ago. They're both good but not great.
I HAVE VERY MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS.
