Jane Eyre has always had a hold on me. It's ripe with so much to discuss- is Mr Rochester a smoldering hero, or is he a creepy guy who kept his wife in his attic and there's nothing he can say that will make that acceptable? I tend to go with the latter, but I still love the book. This modern re-make of Jane Eyre was surprisingly well-done. Jane is a young college student who has to drop out after the death of her parents and find a job wherever she can. Which brings her to the position of nanny for one of the biggest rock stars in the world, Mr Rathburn. See where she's going with this? I found the characters surprisingly likable- Mr Rathburn is even more sympathetic than the original Mr Rochester- and I think this could be really appealing to fans of the original and young adults being introduced for the first time.
