Mr. Baggins

This reading made it one of my favorite books

Revisado: 04-13-19

I've always liked Jane Eyre, but reading its pages sometimes led me to be impatient at Charlotte Bronte's long descriptions of clothing, furniture, and scenery. However, Lucy Scott conveys the feelings that Jane Eyre has about each person and scene with such animation and pathos that they now seem like an important part of the story. She does an excellent job of bringing Jane Eyre and the other characters to life with different voices and accents, from Bessie and Helen Burns to St. John Rivers and Mr. Rochester. It's hard not to get invested in Jane Eyre's struggle to be independent and yet have the support and fulfilling work that she needs to be happy in Victorian England where women were so controlled by the patriarchal society around them. The only trouble with that investment is that it's also very hard to stop listening.
