The First Mate recommended that I listen to the version of Jane Eyre read by Thandiwe Newton.  I have read this book a handful of times over the years and it was one of me early favorite reads.  I tend to love Jane's younger life before Thornfield best.  This version did help me appreciate Mr. Rochester a little bit more.  Even when I was little, I never really understood why Jane would love him because he was mean to her and Adele.  This audiobook made me feel his love for Jane and sympathize with his situation a bit more.  His desperation at the end was palatable.  I found that Jane's trial of wandering though the countryside in despair was sillier seeming.  Her cousin was horrible and I do not believe that he should have gotten away with treating her that way.  Additionally, Jane's classist attitude was much clearer in hearing the language spoken out loud.  This is a great audio book if ye have never read this classic. Arrrr!
