Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

How amazing. I actually managed to complete this sweet novel of 555 pages on my HTC Flyer's Reader App. Have been seeing this title in the top lists of most popular read but never had the opportunity to actually commit to read. Jane's life has been a truly heart rending one. Sad early childhood, her narration of being bullied by her cousins made my blood boil, gosh, there were times when I really felt like giving the spoilt brat John some good slappings. I think her enduring 8 years at the spiteful Mr Brocklehurst's Lowood institution for young girls has indeed crystallised her perceptions about life. Most interesting read for me would be the several chapters of how Jane persisted being head strong, firm and all the way motivated by her deep love for her Master Edward Rochester surviving and maintaining calm through the choking weeks of being brain washed and courted by her handsome cousin St. John for her to marry him and travel with him for missionary work to India. Definitely a worthy read of a classical novel.
