Jane Eyre: The Graphic Novel (American English, Original Text) - Charlotte Brontë

*Book source ~ Library


From Goodreads:

Presents in graphic novel format an adaptation of Brontë's story about an orphaned young English woman who accepts employment as a governess at Thornfield Hall, a country estate owned by the mysterious and remote Mr. Rochester.


I think most of us know at least the basic story of Jane Eyre. I read the book years ago and loved it, so when I saw the graphic novel I thought it might be a nice way to refresh my memory. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I thought I would. Maybe because taking such a long book and condensing it into a graphic novel appears to me, to be a monumental task and as such I think a lot of it gets lost in the paring down. In addition, while the artwork is detailed and has an old-fashioned feel to it, it just didn’t float my boat. However, the adaptation did give me a yearning to reread the book, but I have so many others to read that I doubt I will any time soon.
