I've never met a Jane Eyre movie I liked, so what made me think I'd enjoy a book modernization? In the original novel Jane's a strong character, but this Jane is a wilting flower. And though the author has given her a terrible past, it hasn't made me sympathize with her.
Also, Mr Rochester is a rock star, and I can't stop picturing him as Rick Springfield in Hard to Hold.
Well I only paid 50 cents for it. Time to read the end and move on to the PD James I started.
In other more important news, how come no one told me they did a Prince medley on The Voice? Both my mother and father watch this show, yet neither informed me. ?! Not sure how I feel about "Kiss" as honkeytonk though.
So here's the Big Question: Do you finish a book even if you don't like it? I stopped doing that at least 5 years ago. Once your To Be Read pile gets into the 100s, you just can't waste time on meh.
PS - I see from her acknowledgements that Rochester is probably supposed to be sort of Springsteen. I tried to picture him too, but always came back to Rick.
PSS - There are many 4 star reviews of this book on Goodreads, it's by no means A Bad Book. Just not for moi.
