Title: Age does not a classic make- truly a boring book.
Review: I truly cannot understand why anyone would be awed by Jane Eyre. Charlotte Bronte has trouble explaining the setting of the scenes, for one. Normally, the average reader can comprehend what the setting is like just by reading a few well-written lines. But Bronte bores the reader by over-explaining the setting, as if we needed to know every single detail. Unfortunately, it is this lengthy prose that makes the story itself hard to read. Secondly, the characters are bland, which makes the difficulty even greater. Maybe with livelier characters this novel would be easier to read. Unfortunately, this novel is required reading in certain parts of the nation. This bland, boring novel is not the way to spark reading with young adults.
