I'm glad you started reading it after watching the miniseries! There's been a lot of debate, really, about how adaptations never really feature an ugly Mr. Rochester or a very plain Jane. I think, however, that there may be just a big difference between what we think is beautiful/handsome and what people in those times thought; so in our heads Jane/Rochester might very well be pretty/handsome but to them they're not (not blond/grecian/voluptuous/etc). I have to agree about <em>Wuthering Heights</em> (omgdrama), but you should try <em>Tenant</em> -- I quite like it and I like it second of the Bronte novels, and it does rank somewhere in my list of favorite books :) Hello Elenore!

I started reading it after watching Part One and have now read it almost 6 times. I've seen part two and loved it even more. I've seen it now twice (we taped it). I agree with you on the fact that in the book Mr Rochester is portrayed as ugly when in the show he is portrayed as quite nice looking. (I think anyway...) I think that Charlotte Bronte is the best of the three sisters. I couldn't get into 'Wuthering Heights' and I haven't even attempted 'Tennant at Wildfell Hall'. It was strange that none else at school watched it I was very disappointed. (Noone to converse with) I'm glad there are other fans too. I absolutely loved Jane Eyre.
