Scholastic Jane Eyre

The book came without any plastic wrap look as it was used

This novel is quite simply the definition of a Classic. Narrated gently, and with care for detail, Jane Eyre is a story overcoming prejudice, misfortune and poverty, through strength, goodness, kindness and patience.This is a re-read of a book I vaguely remember reading as a child, but despite knowing the ending, I found myself captivated by Brontës words told from Jane’s perspective as a reflection of her past. I felt every twist and turn, the sadness and heart-ache, the utter frustration at terrible choices made and sheer elation at unbelievable co-incidences (as you so often do in a true love story).Jane Eyre is the epitome of a strong female, unwilling to compromise her strong moral compass, or to bend from her true self. Yet Brontë allows her to share her inner thoughts and vulnerabilities with the reader, so that you feel a closeness and protectiveness over her central character, and utterly captivated by her novel.It isn’t a quick read, and typical for a classic, the level of detail and scenic descriptions take this book to just over 600 pages...but I wouldn’t remove even one.

Easy print size to be able to read and splash marks on chapter pages are a nice touch

Classic book . Bought for my daughter as required by the school for summer reading! Arrived well packaged and in great condition!

The book arrived with creased pages, mainly the top right corner. Even the cover page was bent. The cover page is even splitting into. You can peel the cover print from the right hand top corner. It is really quite bad. the thick side of the book also has orange colour stains on it. Maybe from printing. If my daughter didn't need this particular version for school work, I would return. Not very happy as any copy of a book which I have picked up from a charity shop before was in better condition.

I like it
