I love this book the only thing I wish is that it was read by one person

While I enjoyed listening to this book and the story is solid, there are some readers who are more difficult to follow than others. There are a couple who are too monotonous to the point that sometimes you're not sure what character is speaking, a couple who read too quietly, and one or two who make mistakes pronouncing words while reading. That being said, there are a few readers who do an excellent job and I wish they could have narrated the whole book.

An Amazing Reading of Jane Eyre

I have always loved the book Jane Eyre. So I downloaded the audio version to listen to on my Android phone while walking and riding, not really expecting such a beautiful vocal rendering of this much loved novel. So imagine my amazement as I listened to Elizabeth Klett read Jane Eyre to discover such a beautiful reading of the book. It was as if Jane Eyre herself were in the room with me. Ms. Klett's ability to capture the moods of each particular situation was truly amazing. The book came alive as never before! I will be downloading more from this talented reader...

For the most important chapter in this great novel, they choose the most incompetent reader. Some woman from flippin Denmark records the chapter through her potato while seemingly standing 6 feet away from her potato mic, yet she still manages to breath into it. Very frustrating.

Annoying that this has different readers

While this is well read by each reader, it's really off setting to hear it from different people.

Catches all the spirit of the story and the humble mind behind it

I listened to this recording in 2010, and it was my first English audio-book I listened to. Elisabeth Klett's voice left such a spectacular impression that I still have parts of the text that I had to re-listen memorised in the entirety of their sound, as if I would be hearing them in their original form every time I think of them. ["How(!) small ("smooowl!") my portion seemed!" "Blank-shire" "Rochester" "St. John (Sinjhn.)" How do you even look that up?)] This recording is a piece of art worthy of its original, and I am really glad it was the main piece introducing me to English literature.

A book which wakes deep emotions in everyone who reads it.

The whole book is devoted to Jane Eyre and the people around her. She underwent numerous hardships to pave the path to the such kind of life she was longing for having. Meeting with Mr.Rochester was determining. Having left him one day, she found that no happiness waited for her in life without him. And after their reunion "all the darkness turned to light", even one of his blind eyes began to see a bit. In general, the book teaches us that however the difficulties are, if a person leads an honest life he or she will be rewarded sooner or later.

Ms. Klett has a wonderful reading style and brings Miss Eyre to life so vividly that it's hard to pause the recording for any length of time. She sounds, in fact, like Zelah Clark, who played Jane in the BBC production with Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester. I had to check online with Libravox to verify who actually read the novel aloud, because I thought it was Ms. Clark! Thank you so much, Libravox, for making this possible. And Ms. Klett, you did an excellent job.
