4.0

I picked this book up at the library and almost put it back when I realized it's a rewrite of Jane Eyre. You can't just rewrite my favorite, most read book next to the Bible! But I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't love this book, but I didn't hate it either. I thought the author did an admirable job resetting the story in a modern era. I couldn't decide on three stars or four, so I gave it four because I enjoyed the story. But I felt like the characters were a bit flat. I mean how can you improve on Jane and Mr Rochester's original characters, the tension and then the love that you felt between them? I just didn't feel that same connection in this book.
