I have to give a shout out to Bruce, dear reader and my hero because he’s reading Jane Eyre!
But, Bruce ……
FINISHHHH THE BOOK SO WE CAN HEAR WHAT YOU THOUGHT, ALREADY!!!
IT’S KILLING ME!!!
THE ENDING IS SO WORTH IT!!!
AND YES, I’M SHOUTING, BUT CAN I GET AN ‘AMEN’ HERE??
I will whisper an Amen:
amen.
I am afraid to even say anything because the ending is so … so …
well. YOU KNOW!!!!!
Thanks, Tracey! I’m going to give it my undivided attention tonight and tomorrow and finish it!
I cannot believe you actually posted this, btw! 🙂
red — Oh, I KNEW I could count on you!! YAY!!
hahaha, Bruce!! I know that part of the book feels so …. different all of a sudden! But you’re almost there! You’ll read those last pages without even breathing, I tell ya!
i’ve never read it (don’t throw stuff at me!), but it is on my bookshelf. makes me want to crack it open!
No throwing stuff, AS, just cheering you on to READ it!!
I thought the ending with the cyborg from the future was a bit contrived, but otherwise it was excellent.
The contrast between St John Rivers and Edward Rochester was a bit obvious: St John the handsome man who was cold and austere inside and yes, more than a little ugly to boot who was causing her spirit to wither; versus Edward who though blinded and scarred and maimed was still vital and brilliant and made her come alive.
