I was totally underwhelmed by this Classic. I didn't feel sympathetic towards any of the characters, they were a very unlikeable lot. If I hadn't wanted one more book to add to my tally for the year, I'd have put it on my DNF list and been much happier - disappointing! (  ) Fliss88 | Dec 31, 2020 |  A novel that twists and turns suddenly in how you understand the perspective of the characters. I read this without a knowledge of Jane Eyre and the original characters, and found it alone a compelling study on character and prejudice. Excellent writing throughout. (  ) ephemeral_future | Aug 20, 2020 | A kind of prequel to Jane Eyre, telling the story of Mr Rochester’s first wife who was kept hidden in the attic. It’s a really sad but compelling story. I read it in a couple of hours - kept thinking I was done for the evening then needing to pick it back up and continue. Mr Rochester tells the story to Jane like “They didn’t tell me until too late that she was mad and bad”, but here it’s more like “I found out from a shit-stirring estranged relative that my wife has a family history of mental illness, so I freaked out, stopped calling her by her real name or showing any affection, and for some reason her mental health suddenly got much, much worse”. ( ) elusiverica | Aug 15, 2020 | Finally read this after hearing about it for years. She sure packed a lot into a short novel. ( ) nmele | Jul 21, 2020 | I honestly do not know why this is considered a classic. The main thing I liked about this was its length and the ending, which tied it to Jane Eyre. I did not like the characterization or the writing. I had to reread passages to know what is happening, who is saying what, and whether it was real or a dream sequence. Both characters seemed to be going crazy and it was not clear why. But the author seems to be also making the point that Antoinette was not crazy but was like that because of how she is treated. But then with the dream sequences... So which is it? I did not recognize the monster that Rochester was in this. I did not like Antoinette either. I have to give credit to the author that she made a strong point about the lack of choices or power for women during that time. But that is about it. I would have given up on this if I hadn't owned a physical copy of it. (  ) twinkley | Jul 2, 2020 | Está contido emIs a (non-series) prequel toTem a adaptação
