[Deborah Sowery-Quinn]

this was one of my favourite books as a child. i still remember the gloomy greyish cover of jane on her way to the orphange or walking with the other orphans, something like that. & the susannah york/george c. scott is still my favourite movie version.

I read this so I would know what I wasn't missing by avoiding the original. Suspicions justified.

[Mary Sullins]

Excellent rmantic gothic about an orphan girl who grows up and becomes a servant in a big old house..

[MJ Kids]

Read a "Learn-english" edition, quite disappointing, expected a more feministic book, felt like Jane was tossed back and forth between men and because of men like a baseball, I believe Jane diserved better treatment! -MJ

Didn't know it was an abridged children's edition when I ordered it. But it gave me the main points that I was looking for.

[Sophie Williams]

Abridged version.

Rating: Actually not sure how to rate this?
I mean, the condensation of the story, I felt did its job. I got the info I wanted to learn. It was straight to the point, not many details involved. And this book fulfilled its purpose for me since I am now feeling the need to read the actual book.

Constance is reading out loud to me as part of reading at home daily school assignment.

[Gaby Cioata]

Interesting plot and all, but I did not like the fact that she left him, although they were so much in love

[Rose]

I re-read this to compare with the movie with Orson Welles. It was interesting to see the detail that had to be compressed out. Bronte was truly an amazing writer!
