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

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. ( )

I expected the panels to look emptier without the longer captions and dialogue, but the transition is handled well.
 
This is an attractive way to read what can be an intimidating novel.
