Jane Eyre is a novel by Charlotte Bronte that traces the life journey of a woman (Jane) from the time she is a young girl living in the house of her aunt to the end of her life. Jane Eyre is not a book for everyone. It is extremely introspective and is not plot or action driven by any means. This is the story of a person, her emotional and spiritual journey, and how she grows through interactions with other people. It is written beautifully, with layered motifs and symbols, and very interesting for the political and social implications for the time it was written in. It also still has a strong message of social equality that makes the book more pertinent to life. However the book may be a bit too slow or too introspective for some people, as well as seem outdated or pointless. In general, I found it quite enjoyable, but it may not be the right read for many teens today. If you're looking for a glimpse inside someone else's head, this is the read for you.
