Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Most people already know the plot of this Victorian classic, so I won't go into unnecessary details. For those of you who want a "readable" version of this novel to give to people who either don't read a great deal of classics or are starting out with their reading, or perhaps you're thinking of giving the book to a child or teen, then this version is a great find.
I had trepidations about this book. What if the wonderful narrative and dialogue are stripped away? But that does not happen. Yes, the narrative is a little less wordy than the original, but the essence of Jane Eyre remains. Truth is, I did not miss the original, because it didn't feel different to me. It still contains the dialogue that I love, especially the ones between Jane and Mr. Rochester, and the story flows as wonderfully as ever. So, yes, I suggest you give this edition to a beginner. I am sure he or she will fall in love with this memorable classic.
