It took me a total of ten days to finish this book. I considered that it was a fair amount of time, considering that I normally don't read that kind of material on a daily basis.

Out of all of the literary classics that have been written that I have read, Jane Eyre has to have been my favorite. I rated it a 3/5 stars for a few reasons. One, the beginning was a little slow. This was something that I was expecting. Two, certain parts throughout the book got to be a bit boring. During those parts I felt the urge to skip right over those pages (although I did not). And third, I didn't like Mr. Rochester very well at all. Since he is one of the main characters, I felt that this was my main issue.

Mr. Rochester is an older man, with an odd personality. I thought that the couple's love for each other was a bit peculiar. The age difference was very large, which made it a little unrealistic. Jane Eyre was a likeable character, but was not my favorite out of all of them. She went through a lot during her childhood, and all I wanted was to see her do well and be happy during the story. At times she gets a little carries away thinking, which to me were where the most boring parts were. I had two favorite characters: Miss Adéle and Mrs. Fairfax. I liked them most because of how kind they were to Jane throughout her time at Thornfield Hall. Miss Adéle was adorable and you could see her love fof Jane expressed very clearly. Also Mrs. Fairfax's caring hospitality for Jane was very motherly, which made me like her.

Overall, I found Mr. Rochester's secret to be the most interesting part of the book. I was quite surprising and I found it refreshing that there was that small aspect of mystery in this classic. As a teen, I thought that the reading was bearable, but if anything a bit long. My favorite classic book as of yet.
