Jane Eyre

To tell you the truth the first 100 pages of this book were hard for me to read. Jane's character showed no interest to me, and I thought that she was just another life walking the earth. Now why would I care about another life, I mean I already have my own life to worry about. I feel like the part of the book where she is a young girl is just the introduction and now the real reading starts. Once she grew up I could relate to her as another human and not just another character in a book. I have to say that the "introduction" to this book was way way to long. I also noticed that Charlotte Bronte adds these little details that really don't matter. The reading made me angry because of her lame family. I wish that she would burn their house down while they were sleeping!!!!

"burn their house down while they were sleeping" thats a little much.... but very passionate and well thought out.

This is such an honest response. I especially liked this part, " I thought that she was just another life walking the Earth."

A strong reaction (even if it is not an entirely favorable one). I'd love some examples of the sort of details that you feel are extraneous. I'm also curious to see if your reaction to the book has changed the further you've got into it. Please let me know!
