I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did! I loved how Bronte described the settings. The descriptions were so detailed that it was like painting a picture in my mind. The characters are so developed that I feel like I know these people. Sometimes, I found myself relating to some of the feelings Jane had. I think this book read more like a literary fiction than a romance. The more I read, the more I became invested in Jane and her character development. Of course, because iy was written in the 1800s, there are some parts that reflect the narrow views of that time. Due to the slow pacing, I had to knock it down half a star. Overall, this was a nearly perfect book.
UPDATE: Originally rated 4.5 but had to come back and give it 5 stars. I'm constantly comparing other books against this one!
