An interesting way to read one of my favorite novels of all time. I definitely prefer the regular text, but I could see this as a great entry point for a younger generation. I do think that both Jane and Mr. Rochester are too attractive in this depiction. it kind of misses the point. I love that they include the real language though. ( )

Another classic turned graphic novel. A good way to get the general idea of a classic book of you struggle with the language within them or find them bring. Reluctant readers can get through these without the struggle of required for class. ( )

Whether the comic cpntains the original text or an adapted version, it's about entecing young readers to read, introducing them to the Classics, and providing them with a chance to appreciate and understand great literature. That's how horizons are broadened. That's education

Well I finally finished this graphic novel. meh. ( )

From Goodreads:
Presents in graphic novel format an adaptation of Brontë's story about an orphaned young English woman who accepts employment as a governess at Thornfield Hall, a country estate owned by the mysterious and remote Mr. Rochester.

I think most of us know at least the basic story of Jane Eyre. I read the book years ago and loved it, so when I saw the graphic novel I thought it might be a nice way to refresh my memory. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Maybe because taking such a long book and condensing it into a graphic novel appears to me, to be a monumental task and as such I think a lot of it gets lost in the paring down. In addition, while the artwork is detailed and has an old-fashioned feel to it, it just didn’t float my boat. However, the adaptation did give me a yearning to reread the book, but I have so many others to read that I doubt I will any time soon. ( )
