August 07, 2009: I enjoyed this book mainly because I read Jane Eyre right before it. It gives an interesting perspective to Bronte's book! I did find myself frustrated about details that seemed to be missing, and the jumping around of who was narrating. I am thankful it was short so I was done quickly!

July 06, 2009: Jane Eyre is my favorite novel and Charlotte Bronte is my favorite author, so when I realized that someone attempted to write a prequel to this novel, I was instantly interested. Rhys stream of consciouness and alteration of the original story keep it from getting 5 stars, but if the story is considered on its own, it is interesting. Antoinette (Bertha) becomes a real person, instead of the lunatic from Jane Eyre, and the novel itself is an interesting concept. I would not recommend this novel to someone who cannot understand stream of consciousness.
