Title: The retelling of a classic that misses the mark!
Product review: Jane Eyre is one of my favorite classics and I thought that an erotic retelling of Charlotte Bronte's memorable heroine would be an interesting read. I agree with this book's preface about Jane Eyre having some algolagnic and sadomasochistic undertones throughout, but this retelling of Jane's rather interesting discipline at Lowood Boarding School misses the mark. I found it silly instead of erotic, wooden instead of smoldering. What disappointment! The unidentified author's imagination is nowhere near as overactive as Anne Rice's when she wrote the Sleeping Beauty series. I'll stick to the classic novel and its vague erotic implications -- whether they're real or imagined.
